What's in an Average?

Tendulkar > Bradman IMO.

Graeme Wood > Tendulkar IMO.

His average is closer to Tendulkar's than Tendulkar's is to Bradman's.

Bradman's average still baffles me. The fact that 40 means a very good player, 50 basically means an elite player, and that no one averages over 60, and then there's one **** sitting on 100. Astounding.

runs/outs.

Next question.

 

[Esperance]

I personally think people should look beyond averages.

 

[Esperance]

I think averages should be overlooked when judging a player as they are a piece of statistical insignificance.

An average usually contains four (sometimes three, if you're rubbish enough) digits between 0 and 9 with a decimal point before the last two.

Courtney Walsh > Dennis Lillee IMO

 

[Coronis]

Greg Chappell > Tendulkar IMO

Definitely not a ridiculous suggestion.

 

[watson]

Tendulkar = Lara

 

[ImpatientLime]

Courtney Walsh > Dennis Lillee IMO

Also not a ridiculous suggestion.

The England one day side is below average.

The England one day side is below average.

Yes, and that is helping Dhawan and Rahane's one day averages.
