Blind ranking: rank cricketers unseen

Blind Ranking is a free daily cricket game. Five cricketers arrive one at a time, and you place each in a slot from 1 to 5 on today's stat, without knowing who comes next. Once placed, a player stays put. A new ranking comes at midnight India time.

How to play

  1. Read today's theme, such as career Test batting average or ODI economy rate.
  2. Place the first player in any free slot, 1 for the highest and 5 for the lowest.
  3. Keep placing each new player as he arrives, without seeing who is next.
  4. The fifth player goes into the last free slot by himself.
  5. See the true order and every player's number.

Scoring

Your score, out of 100, measures how close your order is to the true one. No number is shown until the end, so you rank on what you know.

Themes

Each theme is a career figure in one format with a fair sample, such as at least 20 innings for a batting average or 500 balls faced for a strike rate. Rankings run from easy on Monday to the hardest on Sunday.
