Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section (Detailed Explanation). Here are the Top 10 batsmen from India in Pakistan in Test cricket.

TVO RATING

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

Team (T) IND
Venue (V) PAK
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.

The Eras

  • Time Period in which he has been active

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.
