How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 7.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 76 wickets in 67 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 1.13 per match at 20.3, economy 3.51, strike rate 34.6.
