Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 7 · 4th 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.33 per match at 24.7, economy 4.20, strike rate 35.3.
