How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 70). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 109 wickets in 68 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 1.60 per match at 15.1, economy 3.65, strike rate 24.8.
