I just made it a lot more precise in how it measured the quality of the opposition. Narrowed down the time span to the year of the match and two years either side rather than just decade it was played in, and also factored in some different things for home and away matches.What did you change about the formula?
He took 2/131 at home against South Africa in 2008/09, which was converted into ~ 2/99.How has Bollinger's average gone down?
Do the same for Jimmeh.He took 2/131 at home against South Africa in 2008/09, which was converted into ~ 2/99.
He took 13/258 at home against West Indies in 2009/10, which was converted into ~ 13/302.
He took 12/262 at home against Pakistan in 2009/10, which was converted into ~ 12/318.
He took 12/252 away against New Zealand in 2009/10, which was converted into ~ 12/257.
He took 5/182 "away" against Pakistan in 2010, which was converted into ~ 5/222.
He took 5/81 away against India in 2010/11, which was converted into ~ 5/58.
He took 1/130 at home against England in 2010/11, which was converted into ~ 1/106.
I'd imagine they were, didn't they have a fantastic winning streak in that time?Do the same for Jimmeh.
Actually forgot about his Test in India; any reason why 32 runs have come off his Test v South Africa or were South Africa just that bloody good in the couple of years going into that Test?
I did that largely manually and it took me ages just for that many series; I'd be here for a week looking at Jimmeh's career. I'll try to put in an automatic function to do things like that in the next couple of days, then I might.Do the same for Jimmeh.
I think trying to answer this question has made me discover a slight error in the code. It'd also apply to the batting averages if so. I think it's only considering opposition away averages for home games and opposition home average for away games - which is largely correct but I put in a formula to partly consider the opposite which I think is being bypassed somehow. South Africa averaged 41.95 with the bat away from home in the 2007-2011 period and that's the exact figure Bollinger's figures in that match were standardised by, which isn't quite right.Actually forgot about his Test in India; any reason why 32 runs have come off his Test v South Africa or were South Africa just that bloody good in the couple of years going into that Test?

Yeah, confirmed and fixed that bug. Corrected bowling list:I think trying to answer this question has made me discover a slight error in the code. It'd also apply to the batting averages if so.
