How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 89 × 30% · 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
- ×0.82 for the level played (1st grade 99 · 2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 34 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 107 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 4,083 runs in 116 innings, adjusted average 37.3, strike rate 76.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 32.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 107 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
