How these are worked out
The rating is the one on the world ranking: a player's last 30 months of T20, recent matches and stronger opposition counting for more, on the same scale as the ranking. We worked it out as it stood every Sunday from 24 May 2009 to 25 Oct 2026, using every match we have, so a player's peak here is the same number his rating story on his page shows for that week.
A player counts in a week only if he is ranked that week: 450 balls in the 30 months, 300 of them at a good level. The weeks start on 24 May 2009, the first week 50 players were ranked; before that the list was a dozen names whose ratings rested on a season or two. Year points are the Season points table's, a calendar year at a time.
