How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.69 for the level played (National competition 5 · State competition 15 · Rep Div 1 35 · 2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 80 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 74 catches + 8 run outs (2 direct, 6 assisted) in 186 matches — 0.44 per match.
Batting
4,260 runs in 163 innings, adjusted average 32.1, strike rate 75.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
105 wickets in 123 matches bowled in (of 186 played) — 0.85 per match at 20.8, economy 3.75, strike rate 33.3.
