Guys anyone have any new idea to rank batsmen/bowlers/wicketkeepers/alrounders (current or all-time; ODI or test) based on any statistical criteria they want?...We can get started with a raw idea and improve upon it based on discussions in this thread...
I have a couple that ranks spinners, fast bowlers, batsmen etc. I created threads for them a while ago.Guys anyone have any new idea to rank batsmen/bowlers/wicketkeepers/alrounders (current or all-time; ODI or test) based on any statistical criteria they want?...We can get started with a raw idea and improve upon it based on discussions in this thread...
No to make things simpler, we first can have a look at ranking batsmen and bowler differently... Say for example let's take ODI batting - The problem I always had with ranking systems is the fact that theyare always of the form of summing things up... They award some points for number of runs, some for number of centuries, some for remaining not outs, some for averages, some for strike rates etc. etc. and add them up... Not all rankings take all these factors; some rankings take less, some take much more like opposition quality, home/away etc....The problem I have always had is this adding the points up...Say for a very simple example, let's consider average and strike rate...The problem with rankings right now is that they rank batsmen against batsmen, bowlers against bowlers, all-rounders against all-rounders (and then how do you define an all-rounder?).
If you're going to rank players other than by the accepted methods (i.e. averages), then what's needed is a system that ranks all players based on everything they do with the bat, the ball and in the field, and takes into account the competition and strength of opposition.
Then you would have to come up with an objective definition of what a match-winning performance is. Even though you can say that a particular individual was the difference in a match, deciding what proportion of the victory is down to him alone is difficult to do objectively.I feel, the ranking should be based on match winning performance....
Sounds like you've come up with something already?I propose something with multiplicatory effect...Think about it...more to come...
Yes I have an idea for rankings .... do away with themGuys anyone have any new idea to rank batsmen/bowlers/wicketkeepers/alrounders (current or all-time; ODI or test) .
I was just kidding mate.Hi SJS, while I appreciate that not everyone is as into statistics as some of us on this forum, you seem to be saying that those of us who do get some enjoyment should desist forthwith - now I ask you, is that fair?

Do we have a ranking system for ranking ranking systems?
