How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 11.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 1.60 per match at 14.2, economy 3.41, strike rate 24.9.
