How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 7 run outs (2 direct, 5 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 1.04 per match at 22.6, economy 3.69, strike rate 36.7.
