Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 30). 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 + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 10.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 73.2 overs across 26 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.35 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
