How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 17 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
471 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 31.3, strike rate 84.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
