From this we can find each Batsman’s Value in an Inning, and see trend analysis of his in various Innings, in different situation, circumstances, conditions & against various opponents, and see how effective he performs in terms of helping his team win matches.
A Baseline Percentage for this Indicator should be :
Team Average (Approx Points) = 35.00 and more
Batsman’s Value (Approx % ) = 0.50 and more
If this formula is maintained, then it would a rarity, and strange for a Batsman not to score more than 25 Runs per Inning!.

Batsman’s Role –Play : Team’s Progress Score during a Batsman’s Stay. Its basically sum of all partnerships for a batsman in an inning.
A Fall-of-Wicket Indicator, only shows when a Batsman got out and in which over, but, not when he came into Bat, which is the most important Indicator(along with FOW) to measure a Batsman’s Role-play in a Team.
Apart from scoring Runs, a Batsman is also responsible for Team’s progress, as it becomes very important how much a Team has moved along in terms of scoring Runs while he was at the crease.
Similarly to Batsman’s Value, this Indicator helps us to find out a Batsman’s Contribution(along with his batting partner)to his Team in an Inning.
If one has Overs Data (fall of wickets) then it becomes more accurate to know “Staying ability” along with Runs Contribution for Batsman and his Team.
FORMULA
Batsman Score / (FOW- Begin Score = Team’s Progress Score)
A Sample…
J Langer ( Australia in Pakistan, 3- Test series 1998)
Inns : 5
Runs : 211

Scoring Shot : A Run scored from Single Ball of a Bat.
They are 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 6s , & any added runs acquired from overthrows. Extras are not added to Batsman’s scoring shot.
Scoring Rate : Balls divided by number Scoring Shots.
In this a Batsman’s hits are counted and not the value of that shot, and they are classified by 1s, 2s, 4s, 6s & so on.
Here we can find out a Batsman’s capacity to score Runs, and how his team is moving along.
On the other side we can also find how much a Bowler is conceding, and after how many balls. Same theory can be applied for Team’s Progression.
Scoring Rate in Singles & Boundaries
If we classify these Scoring Shots into Singles, and Boundaries we would know how the Team and their Batsmen are moving along these Scoring Shots, & their speed(less balls per scoring shot).
We can also find Fielding Team’s Progression, and identify if their Defense is getting stronger(more balls per scoring shot), and when, or is it getting weaker, and all this can be found out in any selected period of a match.
All this can be done by counting number of scoring shots in an over, and see its development in every over of an inning.
In short, from Scoring Shots, one can find the Progression of both Teams(Bat /Bowl) in any period of time, and give us a fair understanding of where teams have reached in achieving their respective goals in that match.
This is the most accurate indicator in a Cricket match.
Example for Calculating Scoring Rate Formula:
M.Slater 1st Inn vs Pakistan @ Rawalpindi, 1st October, 1998.
Runs 108, Balls 236, Scoring Shots 60(1s x 38, 2s x 10, 4s x 11, 6s x 1)
FORMULA
Balls per Scoring Shot : 236 / 60 = 3.93
Scoring Rate per 100 balls : 60 / 236 = 25.42
Singles per 100 balls : 38 / 236 = 16.10
Other Scoring shots per 100 balls : 10 / 236 = 4.23
Boundaries per 100 balls : (11 + 1) / 236 = 5.08
Batting Average : Runs divided by Wickets Total runs scored by a Batsman in a Inning, which then is divided by his wicket(all kind of dismissal). If a Batsman happens to remain Not Out(inclusive of rtd. hurt, and rtd.ill) , … Continue reading
