I thought that initially but when I looked at Bradman I swore I read 52. It's definitely 50 though, you're right, so I'm clearly just going mad.Matches where he batted I think. Bradman has 50 instead of 52 for the same reason.
When I play backyard cricket, you cannot throw stuff at other people. It will result in two runs. These "things" incldue little gumnuts off tree, grass, shoes (yes, shoes) and other things. the rule was brought in at the arrival of the shoe, as it happened I got out, after Sanka threw a shoe at me. He won the innings due to this, with the worst bowler (Matt) still haveing 3 balls to go, off which I neede 1 run.
Well one day, needing 4 runs to rake the lead (and virtaully win) and to reach my double century (dont ask, wierd scoring system), Nick got me out. I was so dissapointed, knowing I had lost.
The next bastman in was David, whos average was only twenty and high score was 104. Yes we actually calculate this. He had no hope of reaching 200, so Nick (the one who got me out) was going to win.
Sanka (the shoe guy) then decided he didnt want Nick to win and threw 4 gumnuts at me! results in 8 runs, winning me the match and giving me my first double centrury. Nick was so dissapointed and annoyed at Sanka that he began yelling and screaming at him
Thanks! Appreciate the support - my initial quest was just to make a better rating system than ICC but it has become much more and a lot of the evolution is thanks to suggestions from this forum.You've caught a lot of **** for it but this site and its evolution is pretty ****ing impressive viriya. Really enjoyed reading the thread.
Could you elaborate as to why you think so?I think sports.ndtv.com/cricket/rankings and ICC Player Rankings are the best.
Couple of reasons:Root below AB is not something I agree with at all given their respective form over quite an extended period.
Root's hunderd in 3rd Test was in incredibly difficult situation, where AB failed - as was his hundred at Trent Bridge given the conditions.Couple of reasons:
- AB is coming off an ATG current rating peak (#6 all-time)
- If you look at the last 20 innings, even though in terms of runs AB is behind, his runs have been in tougher situations (especially the recent India series where he was the only one who consistently did well in team)
