Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 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 63). 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: 12 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 55 innings at 19.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 12.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
