How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 67 × 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 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 34 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
