How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting 77 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 9 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
396 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 30.3, strike rate 94.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
14 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 1.40 per match at 16.8, economy 5.73, strike rate 17.6.
