How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 67 × 40% · Batting 80 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · Club 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 43 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 53 catches + 12 run outs (5 direct, 7 assisted) in 110 matches — 0.59 per match.
- Batting
- 3,333 runs in 109 innings, adjusted average 33.4, strike rate 94.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 160 wickets in 104 matches bowled in (of 110 played) — 1.54 per match at 18.6, economy 3.47, strike rate 32.2.
