Peak vs Consistency

[sayon basak]

Peak vs Sustaineance basically, tho I still his peak stats are a little inflated but eh, whose aren't?

Again it comes down to peak vs consistency.

So, which should be given more importance while comparing players?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I'd say glorious uncertainties

 

[DrWolverine]

How do you we define peak?

Peak series?
Peak year?
Peak 5 years?
Peak 80 innings?
Peak decade?

 

[Line and Length]

How do you we define peak?

Peak series?
Peak year?
Peak 5 years?
Peak 80 innings?
Peak decade?

Good question.

 

[sayon basak]

How do you we define peak?

Peak series?
Peak year?
Peak 5 years?
Peak 80 innings?
Peak decade?

All of them.
1>3/4>2 imo. Peak decade would very much fall under consistency.

What do their peak 5 years divided by peak 80 innings stats look like?

What do their peak 5 years divided by peak 80 innings stats look like?

Peak 5 year stats:-
Virat Kohli (2015-2019):-
4548 runs @58.31
Geoffrey Boycott (1967-1971):-
2228 runs @61.89
( Didn't count the 1973-1979 where he missed two years, he took 2795 runs @52.74)

Peak 80 innings stats:-
Geoffrey Boycott (inn. no. 42-121):-
4107 runs @60.4
Virat Kohli (inn. no. 50-129):-
4761 runs @62.64

Why would you divide these numbers?

 

[DrWolverine]

Peak 80 innings is an important landmark in test cricket because there is a Don in that list.

Maths joke

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Consistency slightly, same reason I rate Tendulkar and Hobbs above Viv Richards as a test bat.

 

[Johan]

Depends on a lot on factors, If someone is like Ponting and is a 41-42 odd averaging player outside a 5 year peak in a 18 year career then that's a huge problem, but if someone goes from averaging 60 to 45 post peak in a bowler friendly era like Smith that's not that big of a problem imo

I'm actually too stupid to get that.

Apologies.

 

[Thala_0710]

Depends on a case to case basis.

Depends on a case to case basis.

The only correct answer, as peak or consistency isn't a straight forward question. There are too many variables there

Peak vs Longevity - Best Way to Judge Players?

Assuming we have two players with similar overall worldclass records across teams and conditions and career length of around 100 tests and 12 years. Player A's record though is disproportionately due to a peak period representing 30/40 percent of his career during which he was the undisputed...

I can't believe you would do this

@sayon basak

I meant that I thought it was obvious from Coronis's post that he wasn't serious and that stat was totally arbitrary and bordering on the ridiculous

I read that later, it's all good. Sometimes the tone isn't obvious on the internet.
