Cribbage's Standardised Test Averages (UPDATED November 2018 - posts 753-755)

[Prince EWS]

Hey mate could you give me the figures of Waqar's peak years?

I'm going to do peaks after I finish the batting and then apply the tweaks I was talking about in the first post. If you give me a time bracket I'll be able to do a roughish one for you though.

 

[Athlai]

I'll get that done, in the meantime...

Jeets?

Indian fans need to stop worrying about Ishant Sharma. He averages 30.61, world

Haha, I hadn't noticed that. I guess it's because he's played so much of his career against Australia.

01 Jan 1990 - 01 Jan 1995 would be fairly decent.

Little change. Goes from 42.89 to 42.25.

Stupid system. Rubbish.

What is most freakish about Waqar's peak years is not the average, though 18-19 is insane enough but rather the fact that he averaging about six wickets a test while your standard ATG pacer of that time period averaged 4-4.5 wpm. That, and at that SR.

The SR is just incredible IMO.

Looks awesome Cribb, will read through it and post after a couple of hours. Law class now.

19.51.

 

[Athlai]

184 @ 19.51 not too shabby.

Curious to see what your 'peak' analysis reveals about others to see how many come close or better than this. Half of Waqar's wickets came in this period. Such a gun.

 

[Teja.]

In 31?

 

[Athlai]

Yep, 184 wickets in 31 matches. 19 5 wicket hauls, 4 10WM.

What I'm hoping to do is code it in such a way that allows the program to automatically find a player's peak - it'd have to be a set number of course like 20 Tests or 75 wickets or something like that but I still think it'll be interesting. Still a while off though. I'll basically have to StatsGuru every single innings ever and put them all in Notepad. Tediousness FTL.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah especially when you have so many other things we want you to do.

This is really excellent work though. Clearly not perfect but so much better than straight stats. Vettori dropping a point is also fairly interesting since so many consider him to be a minnow basher.

 

[Prince EWS]

One of the more interesting ones of modern players yet to take 75 wickets is Ojha, whose 30 wickets @ 41.60 standardises to 30 wickets @ 31.83.

Some of the really recent bowlers seriously plummet.

Because the standardisation is only based on 1 year of opponent's strength rather than 10 years so it's distorted.
Edit: for recent players that is.

Hmm. True.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Interesting stats.

I guess many of todays over 50 averaging batting brigade will see theirs reduce dramatically then.
