Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 58 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 29.7 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
