How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- 221 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 16.4, strike rate 70.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 15 matches — 3.20 per match at 12.4, economy 2.76, strike rate 27.0.
