How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.04 per match at 20.0, economy 3.54, strike rate 33.8.
