How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 38 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 25 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 105 matches — 0.26 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 93 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
125 wickets in 97 matches bowled in (of 105 played) — 1.29 per match at 19.7, economy 3.60, strike rate 32.9.
