How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- 615 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 17.6, strike rate 86.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 71 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 1.34 per match at 17.6, economy 2.90, strike rate 36.4.
