How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 4.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 25 matches — 1.16 per match at 20.5, economy 3.56, strike rate 34.6.
