Our One Day International (ODI) ratings take into account all matches from the first ODI match on January 5, 1971 till the below mentioned
last update date. Most of our ratings are dynamic, and as new matches are played, the rating of earlier bowlers may change if current
bowlers set new benchmarks. Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section
(Detailed Explanation). Top Form is calculated by taking the best 25 consecutive innings of a bowler
against Top Teams such that his Rating Points are Maximum.So, here are the Top
15 Fast bowlers in their Top Form Away From Home in ODI cricket.
*Note: All ODI Ratings are updated till 2023-08-09
THE CRITERIA
The TOP FORM – AWAY Rating is divided into five main sections:-
| CRITERIA | STAT | POINTS |
|---|---|---|
| Prolific | Wickets Taken | 300.00 |
| Consistent | Average | 200.00 |
| Economic | Strike Rate | 200.00 |
| Best Bowling | Top Inns (Wkts) | 150.00 |
| Economic Bowling | Top Inns (Eco) | 150.00 |
The Trend Setter (TS)
TS is the player which 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 an example:-
- TS Ave: 25.00; Player X Ave: 30.00; Section Points: 300.00
- TS Points: 300.00(Max); Player X Points: TS Ave/Ave X 300 = 25.00/30.00 X 300 = 250.00
- Ratings of all sections are calculated similarly with Ave being replaced by the Criteria Stat.
Top Teams (TT)
Some sections consider performances only against the top teams. Here is some information about the Top Teams:-
- Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine top teams.
- The top teams are calculated by decades.
- A bowler’s performace is counted in TT if it comes against the team in the specific decade.
- Knock Out and Super Six matches of ICC World Cup and Champions Trophy are also counted in TT.
