How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.

No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
