How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 64 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 7 run outs (4 direct, 3 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 16.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 0.71 per match at 20.5, economy 4.18, strike rate 29.4.
