How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 7 run outs (4 direct, 3 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 0.91 per match at 13.2, economy 2.92, strike rate 27.1.
