How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 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 22). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.45 per match.
Batting

Bowling
37 wickets in 22 matches — 1.68 per match at 18.9, economy 3.52, strike rate 32.2.
