Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section (Detailed Explanation). So, here are the Top 15 Spin bowlers with most Wickets Per Inning in ODIs.

WPI RATING

Points to note about WICKETS PER INNING Rating:-

  • The first part gives points for wickets taken per inn.
  • The second part gives points for wkts/inn of Top 7 batsmen.

THE CRITERIA


The WICKETS PER INNING Rating is divided into 2 main sections:-

CRITERIA STAT POINTS
Consistent Wkts/Inn 500.00
Top 7 Victims Top 7 Wkts/Inn 500.00
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.
  • Knock Out matches of T20 World Cup are also counted in TT.
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 bowlerโ€™s performace is counted in TT if it comes against the team in the specific decade.
  • Knock Out matches of T20 World Cup are also counted in TT.
