i don't even know how i'm supposed to find that out

What Watson said below.

i don't even know who i-know-who is

You-Know-Who is Murali, and You-Know-Poo is Warne

Pick someone whose wicket distribution falls within the specified range based on what they bowl. I assume if they bowl a bit of both a-la Funky Miller then you can go and get ****ed.

Yeah. Such ****s not allowed.

If picking a fast bowler then > 31% of his wickets must be tailenders (8 to 11)

If picking a spinner then 32.6% to 37% of his wickets must be tailenders (8 to 11)

At least that's how I understand it. Fortunately Sydney Barnes fails both criteria so we don't have to get into any esoteric debates about whether he was a pacer or a spinner.

You could try going to the Player Profile on Howstat.com

As it happens, I have an out for you guys. Should I give it, or do you prefer doing it the hard way?

 

[NUFAN]

What a nice fast bowling delivery from Don..

Nah make em do it the hard way. Picking names from a given list is **** for the spectators.

What a nice fast bowling delivery from Don..

Here are the rules:

1) 4 players to be chosen who satisfy one each of 4 clauses that will be set.
2) Next 4 players to be chosen from mystery boxes.
3) Last 3 players left to choice.
4) No 12th man. No selecting Don Bradman.
5) Randomized order after every two rounds. 12 hours allotted for a pick.

 

[NUFAN]

Ohhhh. I thought rule 4 meant we couldn't select Don Bradman as 12th man.

 

[Howe_zat]

Braddles wasn't an option anyway. 50% tailend dismissals as a leggie is too many

 

[Riggins]

That was why n00fers described him as bowling fast in the picture silly.

 

[harsh.ag]

So, I am leaving you out to dry on howstat then. Have a good time

I didn't even know of this site a few minutes ago so I am just happy that I can put my calculator aside.

 

[AldoRaine18]

I'll take Dale Steyn. 32.1% of his wickets are from the tail.

THIRD CLAUSE


A player who took more than 31% of his test wickets from the tail (8-11) as a fast bowler, and between 32.6-37% as a spinner.

 

[harsh.ag]

Morgieb can go now, seeing that G.I. seems to be MIA.

Willing....

 

[harsh.ag]

15 hours more. Then you can take over

 

[morgieb]

Fred Trueman - 31.6%

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Wasim Akram. Over 33%

 

[Howe_zat]

I'm taking it medium pace dobbers count as 'fast' here, right?
