The Test sides have other menu options, (Test, first class, One day international and all one day games). It is also possible to calculate universal averages (including all players) under these headings. As an example, therefore, 120+ batting average selections. Similar combinations are available for the other headings on the left. From the four headings on the left STATS it is possible to calculate around 500 different sets of batting statistics.

Select your own range of matches... The STATS data prepared during the season is cumulative and will always hold information from the first match of the season through to the current data date. It follows therefore that all statistics and reports normally produced on the screen are cumulative and cover the season to date. It is however, possible in STATS to select the date range of matches that you want to include in the reports you are putting on the screen.

This means that you can, for example, select matches for the last month, six weeks or whatever to produce a current form guide. After selecting the period all the screen reports and statistics will cover only the matches in the period selected. Any period can be selected so if you want to know who took the most wickets in July select the July matches from the match index and all the screen reports detailed on the left will cover just the month of July.
