Here's those averages Hurricane. I'll repost it in the domestic thread at a later date if anyone cares.

Comparing pure first class records (excluding test match runs) to test records, here is what we get for middle order batsmen (with a few good opener examples thrown in) from the last ten or so years. I can’t be ****ed doing county averages.

Player/FC average/ FC matches/test average

Mathew Sinclair: 52.67 (89) 32.05
Peter Fulton: 47.72 (58) 20.93
Kane Williamson: 46.06 (20) --.--
Jesse Ryder: 43.86 (38) 49.88
Ross Taylor: 40.83 (35) 43.13
Stephen Fleming: 42.75 (35) 40.06
Nathan Astle: 37.07 (32) 37.02
Mark Richardson: 37.82 (83) 44.77
Lou Vincent: 38.07 (40) 34.15
Craig McMillan: 41.64 (40) 38.46
Martin Guptill: 26.48 (19) 35.36
Daniel Flynn: 33.86 (30) 28.70

Now Fleming, Taylor and Ryder all made those runs early in their careers. Fleming in his prime averaged 52 in county cricket.

Where do you get all your FC stats from? I didn't know you could separate County matches from NZ domestic matches anywhere...

Go to cricketarchive.com, then search for your player, go to detailed stats and results, and then do averages by team.

And grab a calculator for the domestic whores.

Touching wood something massive here (), but would love to see Kane get to triple figures before stumps, as starting the next day on debut in the 80s or 90s would be pretty damn tough. Making it through to stumps much more important though, obv.

Awesome.

Player/FC average/ FC matches/test average

Mathew Sinclair: 52.67 (89) 32.05 - should have done better in test matches
Peter Fulton: 47.72 (58) 20.93
Kane Williamson: 46.06 (20) --.--
Jesse Ryder: 43.86 (38) 49.88 - I reckon he will come back a bit towards 45 as a test average
Ross Taylor: 40.83 (35) 43.13 - close
Stephen Fleming: 42.75 (35) 40.06 - close
Nathan Astle: 37.07 (32) 37.02 - remarkably close.
Mark Richardson: 37.82 (83) 44.77 - good improvement but didn't he start slowly in FC
Lou Vincent: 38.07 (40) 34.15
Craig McMillan: 41.64 (40) 38.46
Martin Guptill: 26.48 (19) 35.36 - His average excluding Bangers is 23
Daniel Flynn: 33.86 (30) 28.70 - close



Yeah remarkably good predictor of test match success. With the couple of exceptions that have puzzled everyone (sinclair etc)

Haha yeah, haven't really noticed it before. Definitely a keeper.

 

[Flem274*]

I can't believe Northern Districts have actually produced a batsman.

 

[Flem274*]

Awesome.

Richardson started at Otago iirc and actually averages 39 for them as opposed to 35 for Auckland.

That said I think walking is over rated

Thats what Ryder thinks too apparently.

 

[Hurricane]

Thats what Ryder thinks too apparently.

Because he isn't running his runs right now?

Wondering if this was my old Geography teacher on cricinfo. Gun club left arm seamer too.

If he was actually a cricketer then there's a decent chance.

Another member of our h4xed mens grade first eleven.

Pinga and Weston should make comebacks.
