About the ICC Rating Calculator
The ICC rating calculator analyses a single batting innings by strike rate and tempo and explains how official ICC player ratings are produced. Official ratings depend on a player’s full match history, the strength of the opposition, the match result and recency, so they cannot be worked out from runs and balls alone.
How to use it
- 1Enter runs scored.
- 2Enter balls faced.
- 3Press Analyse to see the strike rate and tempo of the innings.
Worked example
60 runs from 80 balls is a strike rate of 75 — a balanced innings by limited-overs standards.
How it works
How ICC ratings work
ICC player ratings run from 0 to 1,000 and are updated after every international match. Each performance earns points weighted by the quality of the opposition, the match situation and the result, and older performances gradually count for less. The exact formula is proprietary, so it cannot be reproduced from runs and balls alone.
Strike rate
Strike rate = runs ÷ balls faced × 100. A strike rate of 100 means a run a ball, which is quick in Test cricket and steady in T20 cricket.
Common use cases
- Reviewing an innings
- Learning how ICC ratings work
