How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 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 5). 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: 1 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 5 matches — 0.60 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 3 innings at 23.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 5 matches — 3.00 per match at 9.6, economy 3.19, strike rate 18.1.
