How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 19.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.31 per match at 16.7, economy 5.08, strike rate 19.6.
