TIL vcs is a boomer pundit.xG in football is good and second only to how mad boomer pundits get about it when you mention it
It's better than it used to be though, because people used to think Cricinfo would tell them this when it actually just told them average when dismissed by bowler.Worst stat going around rampant in cricket now is batting average v specific bowlers.
One for that thread, then.Worst stat going around rampant in cricket now is batting average v specific bowlers.
Yeah exactly. It's such a meme stat.It's better than it used to be though, because people used to think Cricinfo would tell them this when it actually just told them average when dismissed by bowler.
It still sucks though, at least in Tests, because that's not how Test batting works. If you can see out a particular bowler and milk the rest then that's fine.
No idea, ask them. But according to them, apparently the major weaknesses are actually bowlers who rely on pressure and subtle seam movement rather than extravagant pace or swing.how does that cricviz stat deal with more unorthodox bowlers like a wagner?
basically does this system have any depth or does it just go off 'ball in corridor equals snick'
That is literally the new Ishant's mojo though.apparently the major weaknesses are actually bowlers who rely on pressure and subtle seam movement
So Cummins.No idea, ask them. But according to them, apparently the major weaknesses are actually bowlers who rely on pressure and subtle seam movement rather than extravagant pace or swing.
The cricviz twitter account says that it really underrates Cummins and Abbas as a result.That is literally the new Ishant's mojo though.
It would be interesting to ask them to look at how there is such a difference between Ishant and Cummins though. I obviously think Cummins should be higher but in terms of MO Ishant is the same as Cummins and Abbas.The cricviz twitter account says that it really underrates Cummins and Abbas as a result.
Ishant swings the ball a lot more, Cummins barely moves in the air these days. Heck, he doesn't even move it much off the pitch.It would be interesting to ask them to look at how there is such a difference between Ishant and Cummins though.
