Werent you trying to quantify missed catches for runs earlier? Now suddenly it's hard to quantify when its bowlers you prefer to keep downgraded?
Add 4 to 5 points on for ball-tampering and another 2 or 3 for home umpires and you have a deal my friend
****ing hell dude, you literally did this in this thread and argued that slip fielding is incredibly important because every missed catch cost 16 runs or something.
Then we add those points to every bowler of the 80s too then sure.
Nah just those 2
Based on @kyear2s equation of a 16 runs per dropped catch and assuming a liberal extra catch drop every two games for Wasim, his adjusted average should be 21.6.
Haha poor catching being some peripheral factor that largely gets evened out by other things is the dumbest ****ing thing we pretend to be true here. That and bowlers in strong teams not benefitting massively from scoreboard pressure.
You know what, it actually suits where most experts rates Wasim and close to where I do.....
Exactly
Wasim > Imran.
Wasim was a tamperer and likely fixer himself so I don't get that point.Wasim > Imran.
Imran enjoyed the perks of home umpiring and ball tampering without being put through the torture of match fixing and bad slip fielding. Wasim faced both obstacles without getting much of the first two benefits, and therefore greater.
Surely a lot more than that? I might be completely wrong here, but that number sounds plausible for a great bowler who moves the ball away in a team that can actually catch a bit.
Yes. So assume Wasim got dropped once a game (often times more), and your other ATGs get it once every two games, we deduct the balance from Wasims average.
Yeah, Wasim imo is slightly better than both Ambrose and Steyn and possibly also Imran. I'd have him as probably the 4th best pacer of all time. So I often like to include him in my ATG XI.
You don’t pay much attention do you?
Sorry I meant it got worse.
