How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.16 per match at 20.6, economy 3.78, strike rate 32.6.
