How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 84 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.54 for the level played (1st grade 12 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 27 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 23 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.54 per match.
Batting
1,810 runs in 44 innings, adjusted average 51.4, strike rate 73.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
34 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.26 per match at 20.5, economy 3.41, strike rate 36.0.
