How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 76 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.49 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 18 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 43 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 106 catches + 38 run outs (35 direct, 3 assisted) in 361 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
7,876 runs in 336 innings, adjusted average 27.7, strike rate 76.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
138 wickets in 157 matches bowled in (of 361 played) — 0.88 per match at 16.1, economy 4.03, strike rate 23.9.
