How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 16 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.31 per match.
Batting
534 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 33.0, strike rate 74.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
13 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.44 per match at 12.3, economy 3.62, strike rate 20.4.
