need to be logical and realistic. Bradman averaged 100 to achieve 961.  Kohli averages 54.

 

Overall average is not important.  Last 3 year's average is relevant for these rankings.

 

Kohli has career average of 54.5

 

But has last 3 year's average of 64.8.

 

A terrific series against the WI with a 300+ and a 200+ ... along with some not outs.  Who knows  ?

64 should reach close to 100, only then it is possible. once he crosses 940, he will gain minuscule points for a 100, 1-2 point per 100.

An unusually good series against the WI, with lots of not outs, might make him reach an average around 81 to 85 in the last 3 years.

 

If average is the dominant criteria then he can't make it  ... but there are many other parameters involved.

Those who follow athletics will know the difference between running 100m in 9.8 seconds and 10 seconds, difference only 0.2 but very tough journey in between. Don's 961 looks tempting now that Smith and Kohli have shown to be capable of getting the 930s and 940s. But it is impossible to get 961, no mortal will ever get that..in the world of cricket there is no God but Bradman.

butttt.. i want him to hit a triple at Oval. after century at RoseBowl!

MRF Tyres ICC Player Rankings

The MRF Tyres ICC Player Rankings is a table where international cricket players performances are ranked using a points based system which is worked out by doing a series of calculations leading to a sophisticated moving average. Players are rated on a scale of 0 to 1000 points. If a player’s performance is improving on his past record, his points increase; if his performance is declining his points will go down. The value of each player’s performance within a match is calculated using an algorithm, a series of calculations (all pre-programmed) based on various circumstances in the match. There is no human intervention in this calculation process, and no subjective assessment is made. There are slightly different factors for each of the different formats of the game.

 

The ratings take into account opposition strength apparently, so Virat bashing SL or Windies won't move the needle much. He will need crazy scores vs the likes of Aus and SA to approach the rating Bradman achieved.

2 more good tests and he can scale the heights no one ever reached. The best part is that there is a certainty to his batting. You know he will score. Smith gave this vibes against India numerous times. Scary prospect if you're an England fan...

[Nikhil_cric]

Bradman played in a different era so forget about him. But this is a very high peak rating. Kudos to him!

947 by Steve Smith shows what kind of run he was on, it is amazing that this guy started as a bowler.

Tendulkar bhakts have fiddled the scoring mechanism

Averaged 120 in 21 tests before getting that rating.

[Adi BB]

We have a couple of tests against Windies and then kohli's favourite touring place in Australia,he might average close to 80/90 in this period and rating might jump close to 950 by jan next year 

[Adi BB]

Virat has to make these next 6 months count ,he's got 7-8 tests to smash 5 tons and up his average 

[rtmohanlal]

yet another feather on the cap of this potential ATG batsman... Badly wish he maintains his high avg: till the fifth test so that other batsmen too can feed off from his tremendous performance. That will make sure India at least loss by 2-3 only, if not winning 3-2 which inturn ensures India can maintain the no:1 spot for lot more time . 

[velu]

930..

 

dropped 7 points .. unless he gets a good 2/3 tests next , will be difficult to break 950  

[velu]

935 ..

 

gained 5 points vs indies for scoring 139 & 45 ..

need two or three good tests to eclipse 950 .. 

[Lala]

LOL how come couple of crappy SL players are on top 10 list. Where are Azhar Ali and Babar on that list?
