How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.71 per match at 16.4, economy 4.37, strike rate 22.5.
