How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 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
Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 14 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
1,083 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 24.2, strike rate 112.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
78 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.53 per match at 13.6, economy 2.99, strike rate 27.3.
