In cricket score standings, what does the "M, W, D, L, Net R/R, and Points " stand for?

Question

I am guessing W and L stand for wins and lost.

Answer 1

M- matches played
W- matches won
D- matches drawn
L - matches lost
Net R/R- net run rate (for calculation visit- http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ABOUT_CRICKET/EXPLANATION/NETRR.html)
Points- points earned (2 for win, 1 for draw/tie, 0 for loss)

Answer 2

The net run rate gets a little tricky for curtailed matches, or when a team does not bat 50 overs. In the latter, the run rate is calculated as if the team batted for 50 overs (versus if they were all out in the 44th over). In the former, both teams run rates are adjusted according to revised targets and revised number of overs. Anyways, why bother calculating, when you can get up-to-date net run rates, points and live scores online. I'm following all the action (including net run rates) at http://whatsthescore.in

Answer 3

The meanings are as follows:

W Stands for Matches played.
W stands for matches won
D stands for matches drawn
L stands for matches lost
Net R/R stands for the Net Run Rate of the team
Points stands for the points earned by the team.

Answer 4

Net run Rate is computed based on the rate at which the team scored its runs minus the rate at whihc its opponents scored runs. I would give 10 points to the previous answerer for giving a good link to how this is computed.

Answer 5

M is for matches played
W is for matches won
D is for matches drawn
L is for matches lost
Net R/R is for the Net Run Rate
Points is for the points accumulated by the team.
