How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 23 matches — 0.83 per match at 12.2, economy 3.30, strike rate 22.2.
