How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 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 71). 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: 23 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.89 per match at 12.7, economy 3.23, strike rate 23.7.
