Great stuff. I'll bug you later with one more request. I want to run an analysis with your standardised averages and my measure of longevity. At that time, I'll need your help.

just went through the earlier parts of the thread, especially the wrangly bit about all rounders. one name, notable for its omission, is that of proctor. he could, possibly, have been an all rounder in the sobers league, had he played out a full career.

Barnes holds onto a slender lead for best average. Lohman's average got smashed to 25.

Prince EWS · Oct 14, 2011

There seems to be minimal change in general there; there might be something slightly awry with the coding.
EDIT: No it's fine it seems.

Furball · Oct 14, 2011

How has Bollinger's average gone down?

Redbacks · Oct 14, 2011

As if...

seems like the formula is factoring in ~~saying~~ roughly 2009-11 is a bowlers graveyard when it's more to do with bowlers being **** in general I think.

The Sean · Oct 14, 2011

What did you change about the formula?

Prince EWS · Oct 14, 2011

The Sean said:

I just made it a lot more precise in how it measured the quality of the opposition. Narrowed down the time span to the year of the match and two years either side rather than just decade it was played in, and also factored in some different things for home and away matches.

Do the same for Jimmeh.

Actually forgot about his Test in India; any reason why 32 runs have come off his Test v South Africa or were South Africa just that bloody good in the couple of years going into that Test?

I'd imagine they were, didn't they have a fantastic winning streak in that time?

I'd be more suspect about the 12-for against NZ hardly being altered. Would have thought that this system would take a lot more away from a performance in relatively helpful conditions against a relatively shaky batting line up.

I did that largely manually and it took me ages just for that many series; I'd be here for a week looking at Jimmeh's career.

I'll try to put in an automatic function to do things like that in the next couple of days, then I might.

I think trying to answer this question has made me discover a slight error in the code. It'd also apply to the batting averages if so. I think it's only considering opposition away averages for home games and opposition home average for away games - which is largely correct but I put in a formula to partly consider the opposite which I think is being bypassed somehow. South Africa averaged 41.95 with the bat away from home in the 2007-2011 period and that's the exact figure Bollinger's figures in that match were standardised by, which isn't quite right.

Hilfenhaus' average has to be wrong

Yeah, confirmed and fixed that bug. Corrected bowling list:

Qualification: at least 10 Tests and at least 40 Test wickets.
