How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 1,190 runs in 62 innings, adjusted average 23.2, strike rate 89.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 88 wickets in 68 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 1.29 per match at 18.4, economy 4.03, strike rate 27.4.
