How do batsmen qualify for full points?
A batsman gets a rating as soon as he completes a match. If he scores 50 runs, the computer will rate him as a “50” type player, but will then reduce his points by about 60%, to err on the low side by and avoid a once off rating – a player needs to establish himself before being ranked alongside experienced “50 type” players. With each innings he plays, the points reduction reduces until, after 20 innings, the computer displays 100% of the points that the batsman has earned.
