How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 91 × 40% · Batting 82 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.97 for the level played (National competition 52 · 1st grade 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 63 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 596 catches + 57 stumpings + 30 run outs (27 direct, 3 assisted) in 494 matches — 1.38 dismissals per match.
Batting
13,697 runs in 524 innings, adjusted average 28.8, strike rate 74.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 21 wickets from 149.5 overs across 24 matches bowled in (of 494 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
