Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 485 runs in 39 innings, adjusted average 15.6, strike rate 72.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 56 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.40 per match at 24.6, economy 4.17, strike rate 35.4.
