Percentile rankings

Where a player or team ranks against everyone else qualified in the same format.

Percentile: The share of qualified players a value beats, 1 (poor) to 99 (elite). A 90th-percentile strike rate is higher than 90% of the qualified field in that format. Direction is normalised so higher is always better — a low economy shows as a high percentile.
Qualified: The minimum sample a player must clear to be ranked: 100 balls faced for batting, 120 bowled for bowling. Below it, a metric shows as unrankable rather than being compared on noise.

Batting average(Avg): Runs scored divided by dismissals. A batter never dismissed shows an em dash, not an infinite average.
Strike rate(SR): Runs scored per 100 balls faced.
Boundary %: Share of balls faced hit for four or six.
Dot-ball %: Share of balls faced that yielded no run. Lower is better for a batter, so it ranks inverted.
Highest score(HS): Best individual score in a single innings; a * denotes not out.

Economy rate(Econ): Runs conceded per over.
Bowling average(Avg): Runs conceded divided by wickets taken. Lower is better.
Bowling strike rate(SR): Balls bowled per wicket. Lower is better.
Best figures: Most wickets in an innings, then fewest runs conceded — written wickets/runs.

Output measured against what the situation tends to yield — cricket's expected stats.

Expected runs(xRuns): For each (format, over) bucket, the league-average runs a ball yields. A batter's expected runs is the sum of those averages over the exact balls they faced.
Expected wickets(xWickets): The league-average probability a ball takes a bowler-credited wicket, summed over the deliveries a bowler bowled.
Runs Above Expected(RAE): A batter's actual runs minus their expected runs. Positive means they beat the situations they faced.
Runs Saved: The runs an average bowler would have conceded on those deliveries, minus what this bowler actually conceded off the bat.
Wickets Above Expected(WAE): Wickets taken minus the wickets the baseline says those deliveries should have produced.

Splits used across the visualizations and the delivery-search tool.

Powerplay: Overs 1–6 of an innings, when fielding restrictions are tightest.
Middle overs: Overs 7–15.
Death overs: Overs 16 onward, the closing acceleration.
Pace / spin: A bowler's type inferred from their recorded bowling style. Balls by bowlers with no recorded type are excluded from those splits.
Rolling strike rate: A batter's strike rate over a moving window of recent innings — the shape of their form over time.

Team-level rates, ranked against every qualified team in the format.

Scoring rate: Runs scored per over with the bat.
Runs per wicket: Runs scored for each wicket lost — team batting durability.
Win percentage: Share of completed matches a team won, over a minimum number played.
