How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- 946 runs in 57 innings, adjusted average 18.6, strike rate 58.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 62 played) — 1.16 per match at 17.3, economy 4.09, strike rate 25.3.
