Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.53 for the level played (1st grade 11 · Rep Div 1 11 · Club 32). 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: 13 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 55 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.10 per match at 22.8, economy 4.65, strike rate 29.4.
