How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 (1st grade 1 · Club 116). 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
Outfield: 28 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 117 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 51 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
210 wickets in 110 matches bowled in (of 117 played) — 1.91 per match at 13.7, economy 2.38, strike rate 34.5.
