How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.87 per match at 18.1, economy 3.55, strike rate 30.6.
