How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 4 run outs (0 direct, 4 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.20 per match at 20.1, economy 3.67, strike rate 32.9.
