Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 7.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 14 wickets from 57.3 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 1.40 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
