Need to keep tinkering with the formula until Sachin comes out no. 1. Make longevity like 50% of the rating

The rankings are the result of several months of work. A bit disappointed that I posted the first countdown at a premature stage. But **** it, both was fun. Hope to see you guys soon with the ODI batsmen or test bowlers rankings.

Thank you.

Please do test bowler ranking first

IMO should separate fast and spin bowlers

 

[Gob]

Nah fast and spin blowers should be done together so we can see where Murali and Warne stands among the quicks. Well we can still see it even if they do it separately

TF did I say blowers I mean bowlers

Warne would dominate the former

fair enough to have them on the mind

Warne would dominate the former

maybe he's a sub tho

Being a dick is so easy. Can't appreciate work someone is putting in, just ignore.

Interesting to see Sachin's bowler rating so high. Can you rank by that rating please?

The Cribb method.

Enjoyed the countdown and the work put into it. A big effort.

Kallis is underrated because he was around at the same time as Lara, Tendulkar and to a lesser extent Ponting. In earlier eras they would have written songs about him.

We love Kallis.
He's manly like a phallus.
He looks like Shrek except he isn't green.
He hits the ball with malice.
And everyone is jealous.
So they rarely pick him in their all time team.

Lovely. A beautiful tribute.

I thought that was a reaction to the covid vaccine.

doesn’t make sense. A spin bowler’s action doesn’t expend energy and so they typically bowl a lot more per match. So even with a slightly higher average they can take more wickets. You can’t compare the two. Who is worth more a bowler with 22 avg and 50 strike rate who gets tired in 25 overs or a bowler with 27 avg And 60 strike rate getting tired in 50 overs? Depends on the rest of your attack. A spinner can carry a poor team but a fast bowler is probably a better addition to an already great attack.This doesn’t even take into account spinners’ tendency to be injured less, have longer careers etc. Totally different functions

And yet we did not need separate threads for openers v midorder bats. Do them altogether. It's easy enough to parse out if needed.

Really enjoyed this @venkyrenga - and huge props for the amount of work you put into it. Looking forward to the next one.

I meant to ask @venkyrenga - was Graham Gooch considered for this, or discounted because he didn't play enough during the period? It would be interesting to know what he would have come out at, given how prolific he was in the early 1990s.
