Yeah that's the obvious issue with this (and other similarly-justified) measures, it's pretty tough to filter batsmen who come in at the top of the collapse and then survive it.
Ah, actually this is where this analysis fails. If a batsman comes in at 1/100 chasing 350, suddenly sees four partners depart in the space of 10 runs, and then puts on a 240 run partnership with the No. 7 batsman, he won't get much credit at all compared to the No. 7 batsman (if I'm understanding the method correctly). Langer probably got screwed in this analysis in that Hobart Test match against Pakistan where they chased 360.
