Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 8 run outs (4 direct, 4 assisted) in 77 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 77 played) — 0.82 per match at 28.5, economy 4.83, strike rate 35.4.
