Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 22 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.53 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · Club 18). 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: 9 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 19.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.52 per match at 38.9, economy 4.30, strike rate 54.2.
