How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 76 × 30% · Bowling 71 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.44 for the level played (State competition 7 · Rep Div 1 2 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 12 run outs (3 direct, 9 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.48 per match.
Batting
927 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 36.0, strike rate 104.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
28 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.12 per match at 10.7, economy 3.28, strike rate 19.6.
