How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 26). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 57 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 2.28 per match at 11.0, economy 3.19, strike rate 20.6.
