How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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: 12 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.45 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 22 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
43 wickets in 29 matches — 1.48 per match at 24.7, economy 4.78, strike rate 31.1.
