How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 86 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 69 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 85 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 86 played) — 1.20 per match at 13.9, economy 3.59, strike rate 23.2.
