How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 8.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 75 wickets in 64 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 1.17 per match at 14.8, economy 3.74, strike rate 23.7.
