Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.35 per match at 18.3, economy 3.82, strike rate 28.8.
