How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 7 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 21 · 4th grade 1). 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: 10 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 20.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.42 per match at 20.3, economy 3.12, strike rate 39.1.
