Cricksim Rating Guide
This is for those struggling with the rating. I sent them to Fenil sometime back. Thought I'd post it here. Came across it while clearing PM's.
* Legendary batsmen like Sachin, de Villiers Amla, Kallis, Punter all should be rated in the 40-42 range.
* Magnificent and consistent batsmen like Trott, M Hussey, Kohli, Watson, Sanga, all should be rated in the 38-40 range.
* Players like Gayle, Dhoni, Sehwag, Dilshan, Misbah,Jayawardene should be rated in 36-38 range.
* Not so established, but good players or good players running in a dry patch stretched to for two or more years like Cook, U Akmal, Bell, Collingwood, D Hussey, White, Ferguson all should be rated in 33/34-36 range.
* Players specialized in one formal format but quite average in ODI's to be rated in 32-34 range, depending on the stats in all three formats (Eg: North, Laxman, Afridi, Dravid, Albie, Pollard etc.)
* Pure AR's with a fair batting average & a decent bowling average should be rated somewhat 31-32ish with the bat & somewhat 34-35ish with the ball depending on the averages.
* Domestic players like Khawaja, Hales, Finch, M Marsh, Badrinath all should be rated in the 31-34 range considering their List A averages and the caliber of the circuit they play in.
* Batsmen who are quite average, just rate the anything above 28 depending on their skill.
* For the bowlers, rate the best lot of them 26-28. This category includes bowlers like Swann, Vettori, Morne, Steyn and Malinga.
* The bowlers who bowl really well and consistent and have started their career with a blitz, rate them 28-31. Some of them are Zaheer, Mitchell, Lee, Roach.
* New bowlers who have taken the game by stor like Philander, Narine should be rated somewhat 28-30. If they lost form, then you should dock their ratings by a few points.
* Bowlers who aint that established but bowl well, rate them 31-33. Parnell, Starc, Pattinson McKay etc.
* Rate the specialist bowlers always below 35.
*Bowlers like Steve Smith, Afridi, Bravo, Pollard, Yuvi all to be rated around 34-36 according to their skills.
* Rate the part-timers anything above 37.
* Also it's easier to draft out a list prior to rating the players. It helps in easy comparison (suggested by Callum). Also, if you're doing a nation based league, dock the local players a point up, because they'll be familiar with the conditions.
* For the players who are retired. You should cut down one or two points depending on their skill & how long they've kept away from the game (Obviously doesn't apply for a Retired League or Legends League)
* Always test your ratings & then using the results of the trial matches, tinker them accordingly until you get satisfactorily results.
* This is just a guide. Don't blindly follow it. Different leagues need different rating criterion, so you need to do minor edits at times.
Any more help needed just PM me. Good luck.
