How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 87 × 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
- ×0.47 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 16 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- 1,666 runs in 54 innings, adjusted average 36.6, strike rate 83.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 21.3 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
