Shane's Cricket Ratings

These cricket rankings take into account the final result of a match (win, draw, loss, tie), whether the match was played on a home, away or neutral ground. The ODI rankings also take into account the type of match - World Cup matches are given more weight than other ODIs. The home team is considered to have a 90 point advantage for a test match, a 66 point advantage for a one day match or a 143 point advantage for a 20-20 match. Between two equally matched teams, this equates to the home side scoring 62% in tests, 59% in one day internationals or 69% for a 20-20 match.

The ratings are calculated using a variation on the Glicko system developed by Professor Mark Glickman.
