Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 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 20). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 11.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.94 per match at 12.4, economy 3.18, strike rate 23.3.
