How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 77 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.64 for the level played (State competition 7 · 1st grade 15 · Rep Div 1 2 · Club 16). 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
- Keeping: 14 catches + 5 stumpings + 8 run outs (4 direct, 4 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.64 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 949 runs in 34 innings, adjusted average 36.1, strike rate 108.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 16 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.94 per match at 12.8, economy 3.28, strike rate 23.4.
