OK, just pardon me for my ignorance. Is this comparison an absolute one or a relative one? Take below as an example. We have players X and y in teams A and B.

Player X
Against B at Home = 25
Against B away = 30

Player Y
Against B at Home = 20
Against B away = 25

I have used a difference of 5 in average. Can do the same as a ratio, where the numbers would be 25, 37.5, 20 and 30.

Would teams A and B rated differently?
Yes, A would be rated 12.38% higher.

It doesn't work exactly like this either but yeah it's worked out as a ratio rather than a difference, so definitely "relative". The answer to your final question is definitely yes even if we assumed everything else was equal.

I actually suspect the pitch adjustments may have slightly too much weighting - ie. that the final figures should be somewhere in between the ones without the pitch weighting and the ones with the pitch weighting. But I don't have a reasoning for this; it's more just a gut feel after looking at the two lists, so I'm not going to implement such a change until I can find an actual reason.

Do you do standardised averages for everyone or just elite players? I was wondering what Alick Bannerman's standardised average would have been? His stats look pretty dire by modern standards, but he did play in literally the lowest scoring era ever.

Thank you PEWS for all your hard work on this project. I'm sure we can all point to adjustments we disagree with, but it is an immense piece of work, and a fascinating starting point for trying to accurately compare cricketers from differing generations.

My son and I spend hours arguing over the merits of various all-time greats, and this has become a vital tool in our debates.

New to CricketWeb. really wish I'd seen this brilliant stuff years ago tbh...

Just wondering if you could investigate a couple of things for me please Prince? What are Botham's standardised batting and bowling averages after the Brisbane 85/6 Ashes test ie if he'd retired immediately after that match? Same question for Kapil Dev after his 88th test in Bangalore 1986/7 v Pakistan. And Imran's standardised batting average after his 81st test v Australia at Adelaide (after his great 136). Finally,same for Grace ie batting after his 12th test, Lords 1890 please.


Cheers in advance mate, and thanks for all the hard slog behind all these fascinating results :)

I've been working on this again lately after brute-forcing downloading half of StatsGuru. :ph34r:

Here's an updated batting list. It standardises performances across time and opposition bowling standard to a base average of 31.77. Home and away performances are factored in when considering the opposition bowling standard (which is new for me).

New to CricketWeb. really wish I'd seen this brilliant stuff years ago tbh...

Just wondering if you could investigate a couple of things for me please Prince? What are Botham's standardised batting and bowling averages after the Brisbane 85/6 Ashes test ie if he'd retired immediately after that match? Same question for Kapil Dev after his 88th test in Bangalore 1986/7 v Pakistan. And Imran's standardised batting average after his 81st test v Australia at Adelaide (after his great 136). Finally,same for Grace ie batting after his 12th test, Lords 1890 please.


Cheers in advance mate, and thanks for all the hard slog behind all these fascinating results :)

im probs going to have to implement some kind of 50 test bonus points system just to get rid of him lol. anderson is also a problem for the opposite reason, just trundling along collecting decent points to outrank lillee and lindwall.
