How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 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 69). 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: 13 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 9.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 0.93 per match at 15.1, economy 3.75, strike rate 24.1.
