Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.82 for the level played (State competition 11 · Rep Div 1 8). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 14.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 1.28 per match at 27.4, economy 4.31, strike rate 38.2.
