How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.45 for the level played (State competition 7 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 71 catches + 20 run outs (13 direct, 7 assisted) in 225 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 195 innings at 15.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
175 wickets in 174 matches bowled in (of 225 played) — 1.01 per match at 23.4, economy 4.84, strike rate 29.0.
