How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 62 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- 386 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 26.7, strike rate 75.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 13.8 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.18 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
