How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 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 23). 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 480 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 23.3, strike rate 73.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.82 per match at 17.9, economy 2.96, strike rate 36.2.
