Naavi Rating Scheme for Cricketers-2007 Version

This rating was first developed in 1999 to follow the performance of cricketers in the Limited over match particularly in a closed tournament like the World Cup.
In this rating system, an attempt has been made here to give suitable weightages to different aspects of the game to provide a cross platform comparison.
The critical part of the difference with other ratings is that Naavi Rating is a rating that evaluates the performance in relation to the most relevant parameters. The new system also takes into account the different playing condition when the team performs second, ie chasing or defending a score.
The rating is based on actual performance moderated by
a) Team's Performance if batting or bowling first or the target performance if bowling or batting second
b) The opposition teams strength in batting or bowling
All players will start with a zero base and accumulate points based on their performances. There will be no carryover of reputation from earlier performances. Ponting and Robin Utthappa will therefore have equal chances of being the "Man of World Cup 2007".
The rating in 2007 will be based on new weightages given to different teams. Naavi_rating 2007 will be computed in the following steps.
