How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 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 (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 77). 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: 22 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- 1,752 runs in 73 innings, adjusted average 29.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 135 wickets in 68 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 1.99 per match at 14.9, economy 2.50, strike rate 35.8.
