Example Calculation
A player scores 72 runs with 8 fours and 2 sixes at a strike rate above 100 in a Test match, facing 20 overs in the first pair:
- Runs: 72 × 1 = 72 points
- 50+ Run Bonus: 8 points
- Fours: 8 × 1 = 8 points
- Sixes: 2 × 2 = 4 points
- Strike Rate > 100: 4 points
- First Pair (Test): 20 × 0.5 = 10 points
- Base Total: 106 points
- If Captain (×2): 212 points
