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

[Prince EWS]

And who was the biggest gain among those who played after 1918?

Roy McLean of South Africa, who played from 1951 to 1964, went up from 30.29 to 38.04. Headley is fourth.

And if you define modern batsmen as "anyone who has played a match since 2000" then it's Azhar Mahmood of Pakistan, who goes from 30 to 35.52, primarily due to all those runs he scored in South Africa. Number two, interestingly enough, is Mark Ramprakash.

[ankitj]

Awesome stuff. Answers the question in the poll I just started

Surprised to see that Hobbs hasn't been a gainer, considering he played a lot of cricket before WWI

 

[Howe_zat]

Roy McLean of South Africa, who played from 1951 to 1964, went up from 30.29 to 38.04. Headley is fourth.

And if you define modern batsmen as "anyone who has played a match since 2000" then it's Azhar Mahmood of Pakistan, who goes from 30 to 35.52, primarily due to all those runs he scored in South Africa. Number two, interestingly enough, is Mark Ramprakash.

Thanks. Ramps' Ashes record doing him a favour there, then. His best score was against a really good Windies attack too, I think.

 

[weeman27bob]

Sorry if I've missed it, but who's average has changed the least?

 

[The Sean]

Fantastic stuff again Cribb.

Interesting to see that several of the very top Aussie/English greats of the inter-war years (Bradman, Hammond, Sutcliffe) took a hit, as I would have expected, but Woodfull and Ponsford have both gone up. I wouldn't have predicted that.

 

[Howe_zat]

Sorry if I've missed it, but who's average has changed the least?

Looks like Lara.

 

[four_or_six]

Chris Martin goes down

 

[honestbharani]

Amidst all this, the most important thing to remember is.............
















PEWS actually delivered on a promise.



go look out your window now, might juz manage to wave at those pigs as they fly past...

 

[Howe_zat]

Chris Martin goes down

 

[ankitj]

Oh and what happened to Kallis?

PEWS to abandon this methodology now

 

[BoyBrumby]

Surprised Headley's has gone up so much. I was under the impression a lot of the sides we sent on the early Windies tours were some way below full strength.

 

[Prince EWS]

Chris Martin goes down

His average has flattered him for years. He feasts on minnows; remember that 10 he scored against Bangladesh?

 

[The Sean]

Sorry if I've missed it, but who's average has changed the least?

Looks like Lara.

Seymour Nurse by the look of it - moves from 47.60 to 47.58. Stan McCabe only a tiny change too.

Geez, just looking again the Sri Lankans really take a hit.

 

[centurymaker]

Oh and what happened to Kallis?

PEWS to abandon this methodology now

tbf he's not really done his best against the best sides...

has awesome stats against the like of west indies.. you know.

tendulkar takes a hit for scoring a bit too many runs against bangladesh in his 9 innings.

dravid loses 3 points
he had only really been doing well against the likes of nz, wi in the previous few years before the england series.


lara gains 0.06

sehwag loses 5-6. thats expected.

Jayawardene- yep loses lots

 

[centurymaker]

I've been working on this again lately after brute-forcing downloading half of StatsGuru.

Here's an updated batting list. It standardises performances across time and opposition bowling standard to a base average of 31.77. Home and away performances are factored in when considering the opposition bowling standard (which is new for me).

The qualification there is a standardised average above 30 and at least 20 Tests. Any others are available on request.

Over the next few days I'll be working on updating the bowling one and then releasing a standardised longevity measure I've been tinkering with.

Btw you a champion pews!!!

the fact that the players seem to have taken hits according to what most would expect confirms that this is pretty accurate.

His average has flattered him for years. He feasts on minnows; remember that 10 he scored against Bangladesh?

Goodness, yes! Average drops to 2.16 with a top score of 7 when Zim and Bangladesh are removed.

 

[Furball]

Why are the contemporary South African batsmen's averages all dropping off the edge of a cliff? Kallis' tendencies to feast a bit on minnows is well documented, but why are de Villiers, Smith, Amla and Prince all seeing 5-6 runs fall off their average?

They must've been playing against a lot of poor attacks, or possibly a disproportionate amount of home games.

 

[Prince EWS]

I've standardised matches across era standards as well now. I've also put in a simple method in which to measure the 'value' of a batsman by considering by standardised average (performance) and standardised matches (longevity).

EDIT: You have to scroll across now, unfortunately.
