This method is silly and useless

say, for example player A scores runs like this : 75(100), 30(40), 80(100). Balls faced in the brackets. At the same time player B scores 15(15), 10(5), 110(90). For simplicity assume none of them took any catch, did no run-out and they did not bowl. So, using this rule, MVP count for player A is: (75 30 80) - (240*0.8 - (75 30 80)) = 185 -(192 - 185) = 178. For player B: (15 10 110) -(110*0.8 - (15 10 110)) = 135 - (-47) = 182. So player B is more valuable, but more inconsistent. Seems like Sehwag! One good score and a few pinch-hits would take you up. To combat this flaw in the rule, add bonus for each 25 runs scored. Say 5 run bonus for first 25, 5 run for next and so on. Then player A earns 178 15 5 15 = 213. Player B gets 182 20 = 202. Isn't this looks better!
