How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 77 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 16 catches + 7 run outs (4 direct, 3 assisted) in 80 matches — 0.29 per match.
Batting
1,876 runs in 75 innings, adjusted average 29.4, strike rate 69.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
62 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 80 played) — 1.51 per match at 17.8, economy 3.40, strike rate 31.4.
