How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 29). 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 10.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.11 per match at 10.0, economy 2.33, strike rate 25.8.
