Nations Filter

This rating filters the OVERALL Rating to show players only from West Indies.

The Rating of the players from West Indies remains the same as in the original OVERALL Rating.
Thus the Trend Setter can be from any nation and is not necessarily from West Indies.

THE CRITERIA

CRITERIA	CONSTITUENTS
Primary	Runs, Average, Strike Rate, Top Inns (Runs and SR)
Conditions	Home, Away, In Asia, Outside Asia
Secondary	World Cup, Impact Inns, Top Form

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 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.

TT and NWT

Some sections consider performances only against the top teams (TT) and non weak teams (NWT). Here is some information:-

Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine TT and NWT.
They are calculated by decades.
A batsman's performace is counted in TT or NWT if it comes against that team in the specific decade.
Knock Out matches of T20 World Cup are also counted in TT.
TT and NWT may be found in the last section.
