Nah less. Scores of 50-99 often impact matches.

What do you mean by 'rating at a minimum'. Yeah Ponting would have dipped a little recently.

Lara could have been higher if I used a different point system for massive scores. Lara failed fairly often throughout his career, 62 single figure scores which didn't help him. But still anyone over 1.000 is an awesome batsman.

They are completely different cricketers. I loved Gilly, but I am not too surprised that he's not ended up that high on this analysis as strike rate isn't a factor and he had quite a long weak period towards the end of his career.
