How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- 1,439 runs in 58 innings, adjusted average 28.2, strike rate 80.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 39.0 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.16 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
