Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 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 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 80 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 65 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 62 wickets in 72 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 0.86 per match at 23.6, economy 4.36, strike rate 32.5.
