DoG's Top 100 Test Batsmen: 50-26

[Lostman]

Good stuff, really enjoying this.
Curious to see where Sanga ends up (unless I some how missed him)
Reckon he has a lot more significant innings than most people expect.

 

[Esperance]

Virat Kohli to make a surprise showing.

 

[Days of Grace]

Oh, you didn't miss Sanga. Not by a long shot.

If only Compton played in a more successful team in the late 1940s, then he might have made the top 25.

 

[Pothas]

Was wrong about Amla making the top 25 then.

Seriously though, where the hell is Younis Khan?

 

[NUFAN]

I think Younis Khan will be in the next 2 to be announced.

Younis, Clarke, Chanderpaul, Sangakkara, Kallis and Tendulkar are the current players who I expect to be left.

 

[Coronis]

Technically MoYo isn't retired either. Will be very surprised if Younis isn't one of the next 2 revealed.

 

[bagapath]

am quite disappointed to see compton's name come up so early. expected him to crack the top 25. interesting to say the least.

Agreed, what a player. That away average must have hurt him - no doubt in no small part due to his dismal 50/51 series.

There are quite a few guys still to come - Younus, MoYo, Lloyd and Hayden among them - that I was convinced would be in the lower reaches of the top 40 (and indeed was surprised were that high at all). Now some of them will actually make the top 30.

 

[Jarquis]

Hayden was always going to be higher than expected because Aus won a **** load when he was playing. I imagine the 380 helps his score a load too.

 

[Pothas]

Nasser must be somewhere near the top 10 then.

 

[kyear2]

Really though we would have seen LLoyd, Chanderpaul and Younis before Worrell and May.

 

[The Sean]

Hayden was always going to be higher than expected because Aus won a **** load when he was playing. I imagine the 380 helps his score a load too.

Yeah, I rate Hayden higher than most but I thought his adjusted and away averages might hurt him. You're right though - being a key contributor to a phenomenally successful team must more than make up for it. I'd imagine it's similar for Clive Lloyd.

 

[coolkuna]

Innings were ratings as follows:
1st test: 75 (5.29)
2nd test: 72 (7.72) & 67 (7.29)
3rd test: 18 (1.33)
4th test: 120 (12.69) & 12 (0.91)

Series I/W average of 5.87.

Lara's series against Australia in 1999 had an I/W average of 9.17.

Thanks DoG. You had a post with the ratings for the greatest Test innings of all time.
IIRC, Lara's innings came out on top with a rating of 24 or 25.
Can you point me to that post? I am unable to find it through CW search.

May be this ranking exposes some of our biases? May be our perceptions are colored rather than this system being faulty?

 

[morgieb]

4 "great innings" in the space of 15 months. Wow.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

This is really good stuff DoG, that innings a couple days ago if Australia wins might switch these two around! Both exceptional batsmen though.

 

[Coronis]

True. I personally am not surprised with Chanderpaul being rated highly, he is very underrated imo.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'm only pissed off about Younis because I was wrong.
