How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 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 14). 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: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.79 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 16 innings at 18.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 1 wicket from 2.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
