How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 61 innings at 18.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 1.11 per match at 19.1, economy 5.39, strike rate 21.3.
