The International Cricket Council (ICC) ranks the 100 best-performing batsmen on an on-going basis for those who play in international tests, 1-day, and T20 matches (the three different formats of the game). We chose to use the rankings for the test batsmen, as this represents what is typically considered the most challenging form of the game. The rankings we used were accessed from the ICC website (http://www.icc-cricket.com/player-rankings/mens-test) on 15 November 2014. Data about the bowling hand were unavailable for seven batsmen, so only 93 batsmen were included in the final analysis.
