Like I said. It would depend on the circumstances of the match but if he played recklessly I would like to think i could call him out on it.
Nevertheless, i am speaking in general terms. I didnt even see Maxwell bat.

If it's worse than a rankings system that places Maxwell ahead of Jayawardene, when there is not a single statistic that justifies it apart from their last innings, then my god it must be horrid. I'm sure it isn't.

You actually made me make a post in Philander's favour. WAC.
Atleast it's as Ishant's expense though.

That was 2.5 years ago though.
Ishant played 8 tests in 2014-15, got 38 wickets at 31.
Philander played 9 tests in 2014-15, got 16 wickets at 48.
Even with that, the current form ratings has Ishant above Philander by just 9% more points considering how much the years before are the opposite for them. Career-wise there is no comparison of course.

Not ideal, but certainly not worse than Maxwell>Jaya

Jayawardene is a pretty mediocre ODI batsman you know.

I dunno about mediocre, but every single statistic apart from his previous innings is better than Maxwell's.
Different roles though, which you can tell by their respective SR.
edit: this is not me saying that maxwell is a better batsman than jayawardene though, because he definitely isn't, even though I also do think jayawardene isn't that great in ODIs.

tbf to virya here, Herath > Latham is obviously longevity-related. Once Latham overcomes the "I'm not rating you yet because averaging 40 in 9 Tests means very little in the grand statistical scheme of things" factor which nerfs his rating, he'll jump up significantly.
I think that's also what has Faf behind Hamilton, so while I can understand virya putting that metric in there, it strikes me as severely overpowered in calculations.

Mahela is definitely a disappointment overall in ODIs, but he's in good form atm (got a couple of tons in the NZ series that just ended)..

Yes, this is a tricky one. Latham is getting a discounted rating because he's still new - it looks bad when it shows Herath above him atm (but considering it's 176 vs 171 it's really just rating them both as **** batsmen). This is to avoid someone like Philander getting to #1 in the ratings in 5-10 matches.. you need 40 innings to get your undiscounted rating in the current setup (so ~2 years).
