How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 67 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 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 18). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 322 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 30.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.59 per match at 18.9, economy 3.65, strike rate 31.1.
