DoG's Top 100 Test Bowlers Countdown Thread 100-1

[harsh.ag]

Tate was solid. Glad to see him ranked relatively decently.

 

[Days of Grace]

Huge surprise this next one. Take a guess who it is.

 

[Jarquis]

Surely not Davidson?

 

[OverratedSanity]

If it's not Anderson, he'll be in the top 10.

 

[Starfighter]

Ata-ur-Rehman

 

[jaideep]

Bill O' Reilly or Clarrie Grimmett?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Lee ranked lower than Hoggard?

 

[OverratedSanity]

In all seriousness I think it might be someone like Andy roberts,whose reputation is huge but the stats are relatively unspectacular.

 

[harsh.ag]

Barnes OUT

 

[morgieb]

Wow, I consider Tate quite highly. I’ll be interested to see if everyone from here in is worthy of their positions

Yeah that seems low. Think the career points hurts here.

 

[Bolo]

Bill O' Reilly or Clarrie Grimmett?

Im expecting both pretty soon.

 

[Brian Lara]

Alec bedser

 

[andmark]

George Lohmann

 

[trundler]

I bet one of Hadlee, Murali, Barnes or McGrath would most likely end up #1.

 

[Days of Grace]

No-one got it.

Miller is a fine example of how my system works. Even though he has a great set of averages, his points per innings across the board is low compared to other bowlers in the top 100. In the top 100, his overall PPI ranks at no.99, just ahead of Chaminda Vaas.

A bowler's points for overall, peak, non-home, and quality opposition are calculated as ((((average*4)+(strike-rate*1))*2)+(points per innings*1))/3

These ratios can of course be looked at and revised in the future.

Wow I disagree with that rating but I see why an automated system would do that.

Honestly I'm a tad surprised Miller was that high. Short career and low wickets/match.

 

[Starfighter]

Three gold performances in 17 tests is pretty damn good.

Three gold performances in 17 tests is pretty damn good.

All within a 12 month period as well!
