How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 43). 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: 14 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 7.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.12 per match at 21.5, economy 3.54, strike rate 36.5.
