How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 28). 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: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 13.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 28 matches — 1.43 per match at 15.8, economy 3.22, strike rate 29.4.
