    Years or Test - Which is the best way to test longevity?

    imo reducing this to a single factor is fraught with risks and will just not work with the wide variety of circumstances a player goes through . If I was to try to determine a single number anyway for each player, I'd go something like this - 1. Start with number of years played, obviously...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    No he is not, a 7 needs to be an aggressive but still capable batsman, not a blind slogger. he averages 23 in ODIs ffs. I also disagree with the "definitely better bowler", he can bowl more than Watson, sure - but that's pointless in a team with as much bowling as you have already put in. Yuvraj...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Eh, Afridi the batsman is beyond useless in ODIs, just bring Watson in for him.

    Is James Anderson an ATG test bowler?

    I have seen this opnion being waved around like a fact for some time from others as well, what exactly makes Anderson better as a bowler than Ashwin? The criticism for them is similar , Anderson has more wickets but Ashwin has a far superior average to compensate and that gap is there even...

    ***Official*** IPL 2024

    I am going to slightly extend this to explain the argument I was making at the start of this discussion about RCB's strategy. The assumption is that the end goal of a team is to maximize the number of matches they win. This is some math that might appear non-sense to some folks and I apologize...

    ***Official*** IPL 2024

    The idea that 158 is some great strike rate is nonsense. It would be among the slowest centuries in both IPL and international cricket. Kohli was on 87(57) at the end of the 16th over. By the end of 19th he was at 100(67). That's 13 of 10 in the death overs - beyond pathetic for a set batsman...

    Adjusting the batting average based on actual quality

    Did you ever put out these numbers for the active batting and bowling greats? Or does the system not support them atm?

    ***Official*** IPL 2024

    What is the point of going for a par score if they are aware the bowling is terrible? They should be going for broke. Winning 1 game by 15 runs and losing another 3 by 70 is still better than losing 4 games by 25 runs. Kohli was on 45 of 37 at the end of the 10th over, that's terrible by all...

    2024 Ranking of Batsmen Poll

    Out of curiosity, who in your opinion is the worst batsman that you would still accept as a non-joke #1?

    Virat Kohli vs AB de Villiers (ODIs)

    Others have said it too but that innings was worth it's weight in gold and far far better than the scorecard can ever tell you.

    This been a disgusting few overs at the end from RCB.

    ***Official*** IPL 2024

    maybe they win anyway but idk if this is particularly smart from RCB. Really should be going at at least 10 per over if you haven't lost a single wicket even after 13 overs.
