How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 54). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 8.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.69 per match at 15.5, economy 3.76, strike rate 24.8.
