How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 7.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 22 matches — 1.14 per match at 17.1, economy 4.77, strike rate 21.5.
