- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 7 run outs (1 direct, 6 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 444 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 21.1, strike rate 104.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 1.05 per match at 26.0, economy 3.95, strike rate 39.4.
