How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (1st grade 16 · Rep Div 1 39 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 59 · 4th grade 1). 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: 28 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 116 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 2,211 runs in 112 innings, adjusted average 23.8, strike rate 75.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 70 wickets in 78 matches bowled in (of 116 played) — 0.90 per match at 16.6, economy 2.97, strike rate 33.4.
