Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 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 25). 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: 4 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 14.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 25 matches — 0.68 per match at 20.1, economy 5.25, strike rate 22.9.
