How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 66 innings at 26.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 74 wickets in 77 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 0.96 per match at 15.6, economy 3.98, strike rate 23.6.
