Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.52 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 25 · Club 1 · 4th grade 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 44 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 238 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 13.2, strike rate 36.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 65 wickets in 59 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 1.10 per match at 26.2, economy 4.61, strike rate 34.0.
