My Test Cricket Ratings to the end of 2007
- Thread starter Days of Grace
- Start date

This needs a serious bit of edition for few factors.
1. Variety of opposition - Keeping a good run against 4 sides is easier than that of 9 sides. You need a correction for that. Probably 1% additon for each number of oppositions played
2. Being in a minnow team / weak team - 100 in a total of 215 is far valuable than 100 in a 540. Let's think that every side except England and Australia are reagrded as minnows until 25 test matches. Their performance in those matches should be weighted more. say add 10% of points.

Small change here will allow a better rating. A good bowler in a team with bad batsman may get once to bowl. Ordinary bowler in a team with very good batsmen will get twice to bowl and get more wickets. if wickets per innings is taken, then it would be a very fair comparison to bowlers who shone like a beacon in a bad team (Ex. Streak)
Wickets per innigs (WPI) x 75 woul be a fairer measure.

If Warne was at #1 you would not have been complaining!

123/5
Haha AWTA. TBF analysis will never give a conclusive argument for any player to be named at whichever position but its still interesting to see who is where on these lists.
My Top 100 Batsmen of all time
I am very impressed with Days of Grace effort.
But I would like to know what anyone thinks of my greatest 100 batsmen (updated at end of last test)

I like the look of your top 10. 
But pray tell what do the figures next to the players mean? Adjusted averages?
But pray tell what do the figures next to the players mean? Adjusted averages?
.The figures are a kind of weighted average that have been fixed so that the Don finally averages 100! So I suppose you could say it is how everyone else compares to Bradman.I like the look of your top 10.
But pray tell what do the figures next to the players mean? Adjusted averages?
I would like to see your Top 100 updated now and see how our lists match.
I think they have a lot in common considering the vaguaries involved in attempting to order something so inorderable. I have come across 2 other such lists on the internet but one had Jack Hobbs at no 21 and the other had Wally Hammond at 33 which as far as I can see just makes them incorrect!
Well there have been more test matches played since 1982 than there were in the 105 years of test cricket prior to that; so I suppose its not unreasonable to think that if you have been watching cricket since the early eighties or before that you will have seen around half of the games greatest ever batsmen. Personally Michael vaughan is one of my all time favourites but I fear he may be slipping interminably into the abyss that resides outside my top 100!

More statistical detail please? Surely it's not just (divide 99.96, times 100)?

Don't like the fact that Kallis and Hussey and Hayden are in the top 10. Kallis may still be around in the top 10 for years to come. Hussey I am less certain about. Dravid and Pietersen have dropped down the list a bit.
