How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 11.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 1.43 per match at 17.8, economy 3.83, strike rate 27.9.
