How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 51). 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: 28 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.54 per match.
- Batting
- 1,036 runs in 54 innings, adjusted average 22.0, strike rate 91.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 67 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 1.60 per match at 13.2, economy 3.31, strike rate 24.0.
