UC RATING

Points to note about ASIANS OUTSIDE ASIA Rating:-

Unfamiliar Conditions (UC) is Outside Asia for Asians and In Asia for Non Asians.
Familiar Conditions (FC) are the opposite.
This categorization has been done as there are more points for UC in our Overall Rating.

THE CRITERIA

The ASIANS OUTSIDE ASIA Rating is divided into 5 main sections:-

CRITERIA	STAT	POINTS
Prolific	Runs Scored	250.00
Consistent	Average	200.00
Attacking	Strike Rate	250.00
Big Innings Potential	Top Scores	150.00
Quick Innings Potential	Top Inns By SR	150.00

The Trend Setter (TS)

TS is the player who does the best in a criteria. The rating of all other players are calculated taking the TS as the benchmark. Know All About TS. Here is a simple example:-

TS Runs: 2,000; Player X Runs: 1,000; Section Points: 250.00
TS Points: 250.00(Max); Player X Points: Runs/TS Runs X 250 = 1,000/2,000 X 250 = 125.00
Ratings of all sections are calculated similarly with Runs being replaced by the Criteria Stat.

TT and NWT

Some sections consider performances only against the top teams (TT) and non weak teams (NWT). Here is some information:-

Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine TT and NWT.
They are calculated by decades.
A batsman's performace is counted in TT or NWT if it comes against that team in the specific decade.
Knock Out matches of T20 World Cup are also counted in TT.
TT and NWT may be found in the last section.

Strength of Opposition.
Positions at which a batsman has played.
Venues at which he has played.
Time Period in which he has been active
