every game the players get some points. Like YK got 22 points according to some match report on BBC where he made 300 runs and took wickets

Well only 3 Pakistanis on the list. Rana and Mushtaq will probably climb up. Can't say that about Amjad. but good to see Yasir Arafat up there

From Sky Sports website

The PCA has launched its new PCA Player Rankings and Most Valuable Player (MVP) for the domestic season 2007.

The PCA MVP will be the newest benchmark in cricket, a statistic that for the first time combines all aspects of a player's game and gives him a ranking in relation to his peers.

The PCA Player Rankings and MVP is unique in sports statistics. It is an evaluation of the players, designed by the players.

In 2006, the PCA undertook an extensive review of all player performance-related statistics in the game to produce a measuring system that calculates a player's overall individual performance.

The PCA Player Rankings and MVP formula is a cumulative points system that rewards players for every run scored, every wicket taken and every catch held - and, how well they do it.

A player achieves bonus points based in certain criteria. An overview of the formula is set out below:

Batting:

The basis of the batting points are: runs scored + % of the team's total.

Batting bonus points are achieved for:
Reaching a century
Achieving a benchmark run-rate (varies per tournament, i.e. 1.5 runs per ball in the Twenty20)
Scoring over 40%of a team's runs
Bowling:

The basis for the bowling points are: number of wickets + batsmen wicket points - economy. Bowlers achieve higher points for getting out higher order batsmen.

Bowling bonus points are achieved for:

Achieving a benchmark economy rate (varies per tournament, i.e. less that 5 runs per over in Twenty20
Taking 5 or more wickets in an inning
Bowling maidens
Fielding:

Points are accumulated for:

Catches
Run outs - direct hits
Run outs - assists
Stumpings
Bonus for 5 fielding dismissals in an innings
Captaincy:

A captain of a winning side will receive a points bonus.

Winning teams:

All members of a winning team receive a points bonus.

good to see that they are doing well. But would like them to do the same for their national team.
