Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 19.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 1.11 per match at 24.3, economy 5.27, strike rate 27.7.
