Great work. Any chance you could do one for the bowlers, sorted by average?A small R code and data scraping from cricinfo mostly.
I would say the biggest surprise is Walcott. That peak really flies under the radar.Lol Smith is ridiculous.
I think that's more an offshoot of the fact that he ends up playing close to 120 innings in 5 years compared to quite a bit less for other people and as such never really gets a proper peak with a 5 year condition. He'd probably have a decent enough peak if the 5 year thing was relaxed for him.Says a lot for Root's consistency as well that in his peak period he only averages 54, yet his career average is still above 50.
Yes, I was surprised by that too, the reason it's happening is that he had an absolutely terrible time from jul 80 to jul 81, averaging ~10 with the bat - which kind of breaks his real peak into two and the second part gets picked numerically.That table suggests Ian Botham’s peak with the bat was 81 to 86. Interesting.
Bowling (Min 100 wickets in career) , @smash84 to give me a like.Great work. Any chance you could do one for the bowlers, sorted by average?
