How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 16 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 22 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 21 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.45 per match.
Batting
802 runs in 55 innings, adjusted average 17.8, strike rate 73.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
23 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.51 per match at 24.8, economy 4.46, strike rate 33.4.
