Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 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 (3rd grade 1 · Club 3 · 4th grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 3 innings at 0.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 19 matches — 1.16 per match at 25.5, economy 5.36, strike rate 28.5.
