How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 69 × 30% · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.53 for the level played (1st grade 26 · Rep Div 1 6 · 2nd grade 78 · 3rd grade 27 · Club 14 · 4th grade 25 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 38 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 177 matches — 0.24 per match.

27 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 177 played) — 0.15 per match at 22.5, economy 4.34, strike rate 31.1.
