How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.44 per match at 19.8, economy 3.20, strike rate 37.1.
