Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 16.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 71 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.69 per match at 18.5, economy 3.98, strike rate 27.9.
