Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 41 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 364 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 25.9, strike rate 65.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.00 per match at 26.8, economy 5.44, strike rate 29.6.
