How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 13). 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 3.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 13 matches — 1.38 per match at 10.8, economy 2.83, strike rate 23.0.
