Adjusting the batting average based on actual quality

[srbhkshk]

Here's a few more retired bowlers of the modern era with careers of importance, outside the very top bowlers list. The regression model extrapolation holds up better than I expected:

Ian Botham:
Regression Adjusted Average = 27.03 Delta = -1.374

Anil Kumble:
Regression Adjusted Average = 27.86 Delta = -1.789

Jacques Kallis:
Regression Adjusted Average = 33.91 Delta = 1.260

Did you ever put out these numbers for the active batting and bowling greats? Or does the system not support them atm?

I put no stock in these kind of ratings exercises at all, but your issues here look like "shortpitched713 problems" rather than actual problems with the system. You think Philander and Kaneria are better than they are so when they don't end up as high as you want it's because of "nationalism"

Those are just two examples. I tend to just think, underresearched players at that ranking level + flagging voter interest created a scenario where the big 3 fan base countries ended up being way overrepresented at the lower end of the poll result.

It would require more work. Which I'm not really able to do at the moment, or even for the foreseeable future.

My methodology was laid out pretty clearly, for anyone who wants to continue that work.

“Let’s just take a random guess and adjust someone’s averages to what I think they should be” - topic of this thread

Yeah. In the spirit of this I'm adjusting Woakes' batting average to 99.95.

Lyon got in disgracefully late. Very near Ashwin, if not better than him.

Herath not making it at all was disgraceful, much better bowler than Jadeja.

It's obviously fake news but North Koreans could be believing this in earnest so it may not be parody. Check this:
