How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 1 · 4th grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 107 wickets in 65 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 1.65 per match at 19.6, economy 3.53, strike rate 33.3.
