How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 10.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.06 per match at 19.2, economy 3.47, strike rate 33.2.
