How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 75 × 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 33). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 28 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
32 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.03 per match at 10.8, economy 2.72, strike rate 23.8.
