How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 29). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.12 per match.
Batting
711 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 29.9, strike rate 66.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
40 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.60 per match at 17.3, economy 2.60, strike rate 40.0.
