How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 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 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 28 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.51 per match.
Batting
871 runs in 47 innings, adjusted average 22.1, strike rate 76.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
42 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.31 per match at 14.5, economy 3.24, strike rate 26.9.
