Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 10.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 0.69 per match at 35.9, economy 4.31, strike rate 50.0.
