Cribbage's Standardised Test Averages (UPDATED November 2018 - posts 753-755)

[weldone]

If you give me a random date I can tell you how it ranks the pace-friendliness and spin-friendliness of the teams on that date.

Always interesting to see how players stack up against their peers.

Bradman>>>>>>>>>Hammond>>Headley is no surprise but Gavaskar>Chappell>Viv is.

Chappell has by far the highest standardised average of that lot, just played about five less years. If we included WSC, which he dominated, he'd probably be ahead of Sunny.

Viv never comes out well on these things unless people isolate peaks.

 

[trundler]

Please do one including WSC when you can.

Consistency is key.



Good to see Marshall ahead of Ambrose ahead of Walsh. I would take Garner above Walsh personally.

And oh, Lance Gibbs finally broke through into the top 30.

Pace-friendliness:
1. West Indies - 1.44
2. England - 1.25
3. Zimbabwe - 1.23
4. New Zealand - 1.11
5. South Africa - 1.09
6. Sri Lanka - 0.91
7. Pakistan - 0.90
8. India - 0.88
9. Bangladesh - 0.84
10. Australia - 0.75

Spin-friendliness:
1. Sri Lanka - 1.49
2. India - 1.46
3. Bangladesh - 1.27
4. West Indies - 1.13
5. England - 1.03
6. Pakistan - 0.98
7. Zimbabwe - 0.93
8. New Zealand - 0.92
9. South Africa - 0.73
10. Australia - 0.69

General friendliness:
1. West Indies - 1.24
2. New Zealand - 1.08
3. Sri Lanka - 1.07
4. Bangladesh - 1.07
5. England - 1.05
6. South Africa - 1.01
7. India - 0.99
8. Pakistan - 0.98
9. Zimbabwe - 0.97
10. Australia - 0.72

Occasionally it gives you something surprising like this West Indies pace result, but you can usually guess them pretty accurately without even having looked at it yet, which I think is a good sign.

Bangladesh like the overachiever in this class

So, everything else remaining the same, if Ashwin takes 69/3 in India that's equivalent to Lyon taking 146/3 in Australia?

Fazal > Waqar

Yeah, assuming they were playing against the same batting lineup and both games happened in November this year.

EDIT: Also assuming they were both on the home side, but I think that's a safe assumption, haha.

 

[trundler]

Fazal over Waqar seems odd, obviously. Fazal's home games were played on the mat and Pakistani pitches since have been far less bowling friendly. Is that it?

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha, I just noticed that Dilruwan Perera got BTFO. 32 --> 44. That's what you get for only getting picked at home on pitches made for your bowling and still not averaging under 30.

We're talking pretty fine margins in general here. Waqar's average went up 2, Fazal's went down 1.5 and they ended up on nearly exactly the same value points. It's probably going to be hard to notice an obvious explanation for such small changes without going through their games one by one and seeing what it did with them. I might have a crack at that tomorrow and post the results up.

Who or what is Cribbage?

Me.

Davidson well clear of Trueman. Your method takes into account home conditions very well PEWS.

I think the example weldone hinted at with his hypothetical (Lyon v Ashwin) is a good one to show this too.

Good for him. He's one of the few SL spinners to have over 100 wickets in tests; in fact , he's #3 after Murali and the GOAT Herath

 

[weldone]

Rabada is going with ATG standardised average.

Chanderpaul's batting ranking is a bit of a put-off for me personally.

 

[aussie tragic]

How much did Nufan pay you? Siddle at 60 while Lillee is only 83 lol
