- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 94 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 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 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 1,970 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 42.7, strike rate 151.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
