A method to determine the world's best batsman across all formats

[cpr]

Spark agreeing with you was far more hilarious given his qualifications. He got off way too lightly in this thread for his post.

Given mine, I probably shouldn't have made the mistake in the first place. No wonder our economy is ****ed....

This is my methodology: take the official batting rankings, and assign one penalty point per ranking place. So that first place is one penalty point, tenth place is ten, etc.

Tests have a weighting of 3, ODIs 2, and T20s 1. If a player is not ranked in the top 20 they score a maximum of 20 penalty points (subject to weighting). Thus the minimum possible is 6 and the maximum possible 120.

Some players

Steve Smith (3 Test, 30 ODI, 20 T20) = 53
Joe Root (6 Test, 34 ODI, 20 T20) = 60
Kane Williamson (6 Test, 8 ODI, 6 T20) = 20
Virat Kohli (42 Test, 4 ODI, 2 T20) = 48
Martin Guptill (60 Test, 18 ODI, 5 T20) = 83
AB de Villiers (21 Test, 2 ODI, 20 T20) = 43
Hashim Amla (12 Test, 6 ODI, 20 T20) = 38
David Warner (15 Test, 36 ODI, 12 T20) = 63

Could've just typed 'Kane Williamson' and spent the rest of the time taken to compile that post on something useful like looking for the 'log out' button.

There was a member here called Flopdulkar a few years ago. I remember discovering that he joined from the c***fire forums and that Cabinet96 was the leader of a merry band of trolls that had decide to invade - now that I type this I realise this may have been a dream

Yes, I was about to post the same thing.

I was a part of that, if I recall correctly.

Was pretty fun.

Flopdulkar was up there with Dhonisgland as a great troll account

'He of the selective deafness' the high water mark in Flopdulkar trollery, tbh.

Flopdulkar, that's good. I will have to remember this. Can't believe I never thought of it before.

I can believe it tbh. People pretending to troll about Tendulkar are more witty than your last 10 years of Tendulkar trolls.

For shame.
