How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 69 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.35 for the level played (2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 7 · Club 9 · 4th grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.15 per match.
Batting
661 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 35.6, strike rate 97.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
36 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.71 per match at 14.5, economy 3.16, strike rate 27.6.
