Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 11.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 77 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.51 per match at 15.6, economy 3.03, strike rate 30.9.
