How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 44). 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: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.10 per match at 16.4, economy 3.85, strike rate 25.6.
