The big number is Impact, and it is what the awards are decided on.

Impact is the same match counted a second way. Every ball carries a pressure reading out of 100 — what was needed, off how many, with how many wickets left, and how fast the side was already going — and what you did is weighted by it. Runs in a tight chase are worth more than the same runs in a dead rubber, a wicket is worth more when the batter was set, and a dot ball costs the batter more the more it was costing their side.

The grades run Exceptional, Excellent, Very good, Good, Useful, Marginal. The number beside them is the average pressure that player batted or bowled under, so you can tell an afternoon in the thick of it from a comfortable one.

Dropped catches and runs saved in the field count too, when the scorer noted them.

The smaller MVP figure beside it is the older scheme, kept so the two can be compared. It works from the finished figures rather than from the situation:

Everything is counted in runs and divided by ten. Ten runs make a point, and a wicket is worth a number of runs that depends on how long the match is — 18 in a T20, 25 in a fifty-over game — because wickets are harder to come by the longer you have to get them.

Maidens convert to wickets at the same rate: two make one in a T20. Three wickets add a bonus, five add more. Scoring faster than your own side, or going for less than the rest of the attack, adds a percentage on top.

Fielding counts. A catch or a stumping earns a fifth of the wicket — the bowler still gets all of it, because both of them made it happen — and a run-out earns the whole thing.
