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. To qualify for the rating, a player must have played at least 50 innings against the Top Teams (TT). TT may be found in the last section of the rating. The first list simply gives you the bowlers with best averages in ODI Cricket. The second list gives you the bowlers with best Relative Averages (R Ave). Only bowlers with more than 100 wickets are considered for both lists.
