How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 7). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 7 matches — 0.14 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 2 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
12 wickets in 7 matches — 1.71 per match at 19.8, economy 3.66, strike rate 32.5.
