- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 103.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 15 · 4th grade 6). 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
- Keeping: 5 catches + 1 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.25 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 694 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 30.5, strike rate 68.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.25 per match at 17.3, economy 3.56, strike rate 29.1.
