ICC World Cup Cricket Rating
The LG ICC cricket ratings are a widely followed system of rankings for international cricketers based on their recent performances. Until 19 January 2005 they were known as the
PwC cricket ratings, when LG Electronics took over the sponsorship of the ratings system. The International Cricket Council has joined forces with LG to produce and promote the LG ICC Test Championship, the LG ICC One-Day International Championship and the LG ICC
Player Rankings. The ICC Player Rankings are the official player rankings for international cricket.
The ratings were developed at the suggestion of Ted Dexter in 1987. The intention was to produce a better indication of players’ current standing in the sport than is provided by comparing their averages. Career averages are based on a player’s entire career and do not make any allowance for match conditions or the strength of the opposition, whereas the ratings are based towards recent form and account for match conditions and the quality of the opponent using statistical measures. Initially the rankings were for Test cricket only, but separate one day international rankings were introduced in 1998.
