To be fair, of the 5 times he's done it, only once has it been against Zimbabwe. (2 against WI, 1 each against SL and Pakistan).
I feel ignored ><
Yeah I had a vague idea what you meant. Wanted the full explan of the other things. I wanna get involved in some schemes.
Short careers are heavily discounted, but they can't be purged from the career ratings or players like Graeme Pollock (#62) or George Headley (#25) would not feature in the list. It's a balancing act, and the thing to note about Faf's career ratings is that it can slump quickly as soon as he goes through a bad year.
The longevity factor is adjusted by era. A match played in the 1930s is valued more than in the 2000s for example (2.33 times more to be specific). This is based on the # of matches played in each decade.
doesn't solve the problem that some countries (like England in '90s) play insanely more number of tests than some other countries in the same decade.
Playing more tests isn't always a good thing - the longevity factor isn't that significant. If their average innings ratings is low it's not going to make that much of a difference.
Another thing is that he benefits from being close to the best bowler in a pretty mediocre bowling attack. An economy rate of 5 is not as bad when everyone else is going at 6-6.5.
Kapil was da man during 1978-1993 tbf.
then make it significant FFS.
Almost all of them are overrated at those places.
Only one of them has a century at Lords. I know who I'm picking.
