Does not take into account 1. match situation (may be there was a need to keep your wicket) 2. pitch conditions (conducive to batting etc) 3. top order or lower order wickets 4. dropped catches
seems like a baseless algorithm...yet another example of rediff's pathetic group of writers or whatever!

Performance tracker should take in to consideration point 3 and point 4. But I don't think it's easy to translate Match situation and Pitch condition in to numbers.

Oh yes it is. You simply have to normalise the scores such that the total points available from any match is always the same.
