How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 56 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.16 per match at 14.2, economy 3.55, strike rate 24.0.
