How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 28 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.61 for the level played (1st grade 61 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 30 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 79 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 2,381 runs in 84 innings, adjusted average 29.7, strike rate 81.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 79 played) — 0.28 per match at 18.7, economy 3.43, strike rate 32.8.
