Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 17.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 32 matches — 1.44 per match at 20.9, economy 4.93, strike rate 25.4.
