How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 57 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 51 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 176 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
4,205 runs in 182 innings, adjusted average 24.6, strike rate 69.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 16 wickets from 67.2 overs across 29 matches bowled in (of 176 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
