How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 35 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6). 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: 0 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 6 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- 115 runs in 5 innings, adjusted average 23.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 6 matches — 2.00 per match at 14.3, economy 4.41, strike rate 19.5.
