Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.32 per match at 23.2, economy 4.28, strike rate 32.6.
