Statistics - Final Chase - Best Chaser by Series

I've picked in my opinion the best chaser per series and given the reasons why I've made that decision. In some cases it would have been easier to give the award jointly, but I've stuck to picking one chaser per series It isn't always the chaser with the best win % who gets the decision, sometimes when you look at all the data, you can reach a different conclusion. There are 2 definitions of low, medium and hard targets, because the target set by players in the final chase was significantly higher in the early series (1-5). Easy targets are generally those where the chaser has a 100% winning record. Hard targets are where the players are more likely to win than the chaser, and medium targets everything in between. For percentages where the chaser is in direct competition with the player/team, coloured backgrounds are used. This page shows percentages from the point of view of the chaser. Any percentages of 50% and over are coloured red - 100% is a deep red, and the nearer it gets to 50% the lighter the colour becomes. Any percentages of less than 50% are coloured blue - 0% is a deep blue, and the nearer it gets to 50% the lighter the colour becomes. 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100%
