- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 79 × 30% · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.

- Outfield: 24 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.53 per match.
