CEAT Cricket Rating System
Period of evaluation
The performances of players and teams are evaluated over a yearly period which stretches from October 1 to September 30.
What parameters go into evaluating a player’s performance?
The CCR rating system follows a common points system for players on the basis of their performances in the Test and 50 over ODI formats. A separate system is used to reward players for T20 internationals which is further elaborated upon below
| Batting | |
|---|---|
| A 35 in an innings | 1 Point |
| A 50 in an innings | 1 Addiontional Point |
| Every 25 runs thereafter in that particular innings | 1 Point |
| A century in an innings | 3 Additional Points as Bonus |
| A double century in an innings | 6 Additional Points as Bonus |
| A triple century in an innings | 9 Additional Points as Bonus |
| Bowling | |
|---|---|
| Two wickets in an innings | 1 Point |
| Every subsequent wicket in that particular innings | 1 Addiontional Point |
| Five wickets in an innings | 3 additional points as bonus |
| Nine wickets in an innings | 6 Additional Points as Bonus |
| Ten wickets in an innings | 11 Additional Points as Bonus |
| Ten wickets in a match | 3 Additional Points as Bonus |
| Fielding | |
|---|---|
| Two catches | 1 Point |
| Every subsequent catch | 3 additional points as bonus |
| Five catches in an innings | 3 additional points as bonus |
| Ten catches in an innings | 6 Additional Points as Bonus |
| Wicket Keeping | |
|---|---|
| 3 Dismissals in an innings | 1 Point |
| Every subsequent dismissal in that particular innings | 1 Point Each |
| 6 Dismissals in an innings/td> | 3 additional points as bonus |
| Ten catches in an innings | 6 Additional Points as Bonus |
Since Twenty20 cricket puts greater emphasis on batsmen to get going from ball one, bowlers have their work cut out. A batsman’s strike rate and a bowler’s economic rate certainly come under greater scrutiny in this ‘slambang’ format of the game. Therefore, besides notching up points for runs scored and wickets taken, the CCR Twenty20 points system additionally rewards batsmen based on the number of deliveries they take to score runs and bowlers for their economy rate.
Batting
| RUNS SCORED | BATTING POINTS |
|---|---|
| 11 - 20 | 10 |
| 21 - 35 | 20 |
| 36 - 50 | 50 |
| 51 - 75 | 70 |
| 76 - 100 | 100 |
| 101 - 120 | 110 |
| 121 - 135 | 120 |
| 136 & Above | 150 |
| Note: These points get multiplied to the absolute strike rate of the batsman (strike rate/100) to calculate the 'Grand Batting Points'. For example, if a batsman scores 50 runs in 25 balls, he would have earned 50 batting points according to the above scale. His strike rate would be 200 and his absolute strike rate would amount to 2. To calculate his Grand Batting Points, we simply have to multiply ‘batting points’ x ‘absolute strike rate i.e. 50 x 2 which equals 100. |

Bowling
| WICKETS TAKEN | BOWLING POINTS |
|---|---|
| 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 30 |
| 3 | 50 |
| 4 | 70 |
| 5 | 100 |
| 6 | 110 |
| 7 | 120 |
In addition to the points bowlers earn for the number of wickets they take, their economy rate is also taken into consideration for which points are allocated as per the following:
|
|
| Economy Rate | Economy Points |
|---|---|
| Less than 4 per over | 10 |
| Between 4 & 6 per over | 5 |
| Between 6 & 9 per over | 2 |
| More than 9 per over | 0 |
The sum of the 'Bowling Points' & the 'Economy Points' equal to a bowler’s 'Grand Bowling Points'.

FIELDING & WICKETKEEPING
Unlike the system used to award fielding points in Tests and 50 over ODIs, the Twenty20 points system doesn’t differ in its allocation of points to regular fielders and wicketkeepers based on the number of catches and stumpings taken. Here’s how points are awarded:
| Catches/Stumpings | Fielding Points |
|---|---|
| 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 20 |
| 3 | 50 |
| 4 | 70 |
| 5 & above | 100 |
We all know the value teams attach to a Test win on the road, let alone to a series win. For this reason, the CCR Team Rating system ensures teams merit extra points for away Test match wins as compared to a win in their own backyard. For 50 over ODIs and Twenty20 internationals, a common system is used to rate team performances.
| Test | |
|---|---|
| Outright win | 6 points for home win 9 points for away win |
| Draw/Tie | 3 points each |
| Defeat | no points |
| Series Win | 2 bonus points |
| 50 OVER ODI & T20 INTERNATIONAL | |
|---|---|
| Win | 2 points |
| Tie | 1 point |
| Abandoned match | no points |
In 50 over ODIs and Twenty20 internationals, bonus points for series or tournament wins will be based on the number of countries participating in the event. So if it’s a bilateral series, the series winner gets 2 bonus points, if it’s a triangular series, the winning team gets 3 points and so on. For the forthcoming ICC World Cup in 2015, since 14 teams will be involved, the world champions would earn 14 bonus points.
