How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 219 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 14.5, strike rate 68.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.49 per match at 17.5, economy 2.76, strike rate 38.1.
