Top 10 Australian Batsmen In Tests In Pakistan & UAE

All Test Ratings on the website are from 01/01/1950 onwards (Know Why). 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. Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section (Detailed Explanation). Here are the Top 10 batsmen from Australia in Pakistan and U.A.E. in Test cricket.

*Note: All Test Ratings are updated till 2025-02-15

7. TEAM VEN OPP RATING

TVO RATING

This rating considers performances of players from specific teams in particular nations or against particular oppositions.

Team (T)	AUS
Venue (V)	PAK & UAE
Oposition (O)	ALL

THE CRITERIA

The TVO Rating is divided into 4 main sections:-

CRITERIA	STAT	POINTS
Prolific	Runs Scored	300.00
Consistent	Average	300.00
Big Innings Potential	Top Scores	250.00
Attacking	Strike Rate	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.

CONSISTENT

R Ave

Relative Average (R Ave) is a more accurate type of average. Know How It Is Calculated. Briefly, it takes into account:-

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

BIG INNINGS POTENTIAL

Ave HS

In this criteria, the top 5 scores of the batsman have been taken. Average High Score (Ave HS) is simply the total runs in the 5 innings divided by 5.

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.

R4BF

Balls played by batsmen for many inns is not available for earlier times. When such is the case, we have used Runs For Balls Faced (R4BF) to determine the Strike Rate. This is the runs scored by the batsman for the available data of balls.
