How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.48 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 2). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 3 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 4 innings at 11.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 3 matches — 2.67 per match at 21.0, economy 3.65, strike rate 34.5.
