How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 81 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 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 (1st grade 30 · Club 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 49 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 29 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.48 per match.
Batting
2,047 runs in 67 innings, adjusted average 31.9, strike rate 70.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
17 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 0.26 per match at 24.4, economy 3.74, strike rate 39.2.
