How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 80 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 7 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 177 catches + 32 stumpings + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 279 matches — 0.76 dismissals per match.
Batting
Not rated: 257 innings at 22.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 28 wickets from 182.8 overs across 46 matches bowled in (of 279 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
