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 bowlers may change if current
bowlers set new benchmarks. Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section
(Detailed Explanation). Here are the Top
10 Fast bowlers from Pakistan in Australia in Test cricket.
*Note: All Test Ratings are updated till 2025-02-15
TVO RATING
This rating considers performances of players from specific teams in particular nations or against particular oppositions.
| Team (T) | PAK |

THE CRITERIA
The TVO Rating is divided into 4 main sections:-
| CRITERIA | STAT | POINTS |

| Consistent | Average | 300.00 |
| Attacking | Strike Rate | 200.00 |
| Best Bowling | Top Bowling Performances | 200.00 |
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 a simple 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.
