How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 1 match since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 28 innings at 20.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 3 wickets from 41.3 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
