How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 31 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 16 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.47 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 28 innings at 16.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
26 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.13 per match at 23.8, economy 5.38, strike rate 26.5.
