How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 71 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.26 for the level played (Club 18 · 5th grade and below 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 1,171 runs in 53 innings, adjusted average 24.2, strike rate 70.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.00 per match at 23.9, economy 3.97, strike rate 36.2.
