Cricbuzz rankings: ICC position, ratings and player statistics

Format, discipline and gender

Choose Test, ODI or T20 as appropriate, then batting, bowling or all-rounder and the men’s or women’s category. Record the update date. A place in one list does not locate a player in the others.

Position and rating are different fields

A player can change position as other players’ ratings change. A league points table measures team standings under a competition rule. Neither should be substituted for an ICC player rating.

Average uses dismissals; strike rate uses balls

In an illustrative innings set, 240 runs with six dismissals gives an average of 40.00. If those runs took 200 balls, the strike rate is 120.00 runs per 100 balls. Counting innings instead of dismissals would change the first measure.

Bowling figures need their own denominators

Economy uses runs conceded per over under the statistic’s counting rule. Bowling average uses runs per wicket, while strike rate uses balls per wicket. Compare players within the same format and period before drawing conclusions.

Career records and season form

A search for Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Sachin Tendulkar or Joe Root can mean career totals, current rank or a recent season. Open the format-specific player record and retain the period. A career total cannot stand in for the last five matches.

A ranking is not a probability of winning

Polls and forecast labels use their own methods, if any are disclosed. A higher rank does not establish a numerical chance of winning a particular match or a return from staking money.

Keep the match and product in view

If the question changes from a score to a device error, a plan charge or a broadcast, switch to that product’s own record. The same name across those screens does not make their conditions interchangeable.
