Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 11.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 1.57 per match at 18.3, economy 3.86, strike rate 28.5.
