- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 641 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 23.8, strike rate 101.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 22.2 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
