Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section (Detailed Explanation). So, here are the Top 10 batsmen from South Africa in England in ODIs.

Venue (V) ENG
Oposition (O) ALL

THE CRITERIA

The TVO Rating is divided into 5 main sections:-

CRITERIA STAT POINTS
Prolific Runs Scored 250.00
Consistent Average 200.00
Attacking Strike Rate 200.00
Big Innings Potential Top Scores 200.00
Quick Innings Potential Top Inns By SR 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.

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