Player A, if they average 55 then I'd put money on them having at least some decent sots in the locker, 30 with a SR of 120 suggests a mediocre opener really.

With 15 overs left i'd say Player B though if it was 20 or more then Player A would be the one i'd go for.

Am I chasing or setting a target? What score is my partner on? How many overs does their strike bowler have left? Etc.

Wait until you blow their minds with the fact that player A averages 29 runs per match, and player B averages 27 runs per match.
New poll! Player A will be left not out, player B will hit out and another batsman will score runs off more balls.

To make it easier, 15 overs is 90 balls remaining.
Off 90 balls, Player A will score 67 runs.
Off 90 balls, Player B will score 108 runs.

Assume all other factors have equal impact to either batsman.

Why? They have a lot of not outs to boost the average to 55 and a slow SR.

A will last longer and face more balls.

A will last longer, he will face more balls, but he will only score 2 more runs per match than B where B will score far more swfitly and leave more balls to the next batsman to face.

Neither will last for 90 balls. Player A will score 55 and Player B will score 30.

No, A averages 55, but actually averages 29 runs scored per match - with not outs boosting the average. B averages 30 but scores 27 runs per match on average, being left not out less often.

Yup. Needs more context.

It's only 90 balls if they get all the strike. The average would be 45 balls.
Off 45 balls, Player A will score 33 runs.
Off 45 balls, Player B will score 54 runs.

Player B lasts 25 balls and gets out. Who's in next?

Someone averaging 40 and striking at 90.
There's two of them. Pick one. Then there is someone averaging over 40 and striking at 110 batting at #8.

The No. 7 batsman. Note that 25 balls, plus 25 to the other batsman, is 50 balls, meaning 8.2 overs out of 15. There are now 6.4 overs, or 40 balls, left.

I'm starting to think that some players would happily take a batsman who struck at 40 as long as he had a high enough average. I call these people "averageists".
