Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 19 · Club 14 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 92 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 73 innings at 18.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 85 wickets in 75 matches bowled in (of 92 played) — 1.13 per match at 20.3, economy 3.89, strike rate 31.4.
