How ICC Men’s Test Batsmen Rankings calculated?

1. Out or Not Out (Bonus points are given to Not out players)
2. Ratings of the opposing bowling attack; the higher the combined ratings of the bowling attack, in proportion more value is given to the batsman’s innings.
3. Runs scored i.e., more runs means more bonus points. A century in the second innings will get more credit than in the first inning.
4. At which juncture; runs are scored. If a player score runs when his team was in crisis, then a player gets more rating points.
5. The level of run-scoring in the match. If both teams score 500 in innings, then the computer rate it as a high scoring match, so 100 runs by a player in this innings worth lesser to a low scoring match in which both team score just 150 runs.
6. If a player has scored more runs in a match and his team wins then he gets bonus points. But bonus points will be more if the victory is against a strong team.
