How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 78 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 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 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 39 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 13 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
1,464 runs in 48 innings, adjusted average 36.9, strike rate 68.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
47 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.27 per match at 15.0, economy 4.57, strike rate 19.7.
