How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 30 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 119 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 78 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 191 wickets in 117 matches bowled in (of 119 played) — 1.63 per match at 19.6, economy 3.63, strike rate 32.5.
