Thanks to Goughy for reminded me of this with his own thread trying to analyse the makeup of successful ODI sides.
The general idea remains the same as per this thread.
A reminder of the formula, for those absent-minded few who have forgotten it:
The threshold was a minimum of 30 career ODI innings AND an ODI appearance in 2007. All Test nations plus Zimbabwe were included.

A reminder of the formula, for those absent-minded few who have forgotten it:
There is one small change to the above formula - matches played has been replaced by innings batted: the previous formula gave batsmen such as McGrath credit for not even batting, which isn't the point.To begin with, a few terms I made up need explaining:
Regular average - the standard batting average (runs divided by times out).
Raw average - runs scored divided by innings batted, hence removing the not-outs.
100s per innings - the number of hundreds scored divided by innings batted.
50s per innings - the number of fifties scored divided by innings batted.
The sum of the raw average multiplied by four and the regular average multiplied by one is divided by five to give the weighted average.
(raw*4 + reg)/5
The 100s per innings (100/I) is multiplied by 450, to give the weighted 100/I.
100/I*450
The 50s per innings (50/I) is multiplied by 150 to give the weighted 50/I.
50/I*150
Matches played is also factored into the formula to reduce the anomalies caused by players with short careers (e.g. Pietersen, Dhoni).
Strike rate (SR) is divided by two to give the weighted SR
(runs/balls*100)/2
The TBV is composed as follows:
0.65 - weighted average
0.20 - weighted SR
0.09 - weighted 100/I
0.04 - weighted 50/I
0.02 - matches played
The entire formula is therefore:
(0.65*weighted average)+(0.20*weighted SR)+(0.09*weighted 100/I)+(0.04*weighted 50/I)+(0.02*matches played).
The threshold was a minimum of 30 career ODI innings AND an ODI appearance in 2007. All Test nations plus Zimbabwe were included.
