How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 62 × 30% · Bowling 16 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 767 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 18.9, strike rate 82.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.05 per match at 28.9, economy 5.15, strike rate 33.7.
