How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 63 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.40 per match at 19.0, economy 3.49, strike rate 32.6.
