ATTACKING

R SR

Relative Strike Rate (R SR) is calculated using the same method as R Ave with average being replaced with SR. Batsman who were active in earlier times benefit from this as SR was generally low earlier.

BRIEF EXPLANATION

Dynamic Nature

Most of our ratings are dynamic, and as new matches are played, the rating of earlier batsmen may change if current batsmen set new benchmarks.

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. 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.
