How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 56). 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: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 63 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.27 per match at 19.3, economy 3.44, strike rate 33.6.
