How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 100 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.37 for the level played (2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 47 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 144 catches + 34 run outs (8 direct, 26 assisted) in 393 matches — 0.45 per match.
Batting
15,582 runs in 345 innings, adjusted average 63.2, strike rate 79.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
