How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 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 (Club 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.

Outfield: 35 catches + 15 run outs (11 direct, 4 assisted) in 126 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
1,855 runs in 109 innings, adjusted average 22.6, strike rate 64.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
107 wickets in 105 matches bowled in (of 126 played) — 1.02 per match at 16.6, economy 3.98, strike rate 25.0.
