How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 61). 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: 23 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 60 innings at 19.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 60 wickets in 60 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 1.00 per match at 10.2, economy 3.43, strike rate 17.9.
