How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 75 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 39 catches + 7 run outs (5 direct, 2 assisted) in 127 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- 2,589 runs in 107 innings, adjusted average 29.6, strike rate 100.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 150 wickets in 97 matches bowled in (of 127 played) — 1.55 per match at 15.6, economy 3.49, strike rate 26.8.
