Setting the Standards to Judge Players

[subshakerz]

Most of the arguments we have on player comparisons boil down to how we rate the player based on our own weighting of certain metrics. So I wanted to list down the metrics for test bats and bowlers below and ask how would you rank or reorder them in terms of your personal priorities in player assessments.

Test bats:
Overall average
Home/away record
Century conversion rate
Record across opposition
Record across countries
Standout great innings
Peer rating
Batting position
Record by innings number
Playing style/SR

Test bowlers:
Overall average
Home/away record
WPM
Record across opposition
Record across countries
Matchwinning performances
Fifers/Tenfers
Peer rating
ER
SR

If saltshakerz says player A is better, usually player B is better.
