How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 5 innings at 8.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 1.00 per match at 18.4, economy 3.90, strike rate 28.3.
