    DoG's Test Innings and Bowling Performances. Updates thread.

    Can I ask what you mean by a 50/50 importance on home/away? What if the match is played at home in 2002? Will the bowler’s home performances from 2000-2004 be measured? Or should I count all performances from 2000-2004? The former runs the risk of sample size lol issues and the latter has...

    Laker actually took 10/53 compared to Kumble's 10/74.

    Because Bangladesh bowlers had a very good record at home from 2017-2021.

    Here is a top 10 batting list in which the opposition bowling attack is rated on the home or away/neutral records of bowlers in the five calander years up to and including the series in question. Notice how the top 4 are all "away" innings now. 1 MDKJ Perera 153* South Africa 23.97 774 Durban...

    DoG's Test Innings and Bowling Performances. Updates thread.

    I thought a 5 year period around the series in question would work well. For instance, for a series played in 2001, the performances of the opposition batsmen and bowlers from 1999-2003 would be used as a means of rating their strength. And records would be separated into home and away/neutral...

    DoG's Test Innings and Bowling Performances. Updates thread.

    I have thought about this many times. Would you do it by home and away/neutral? What about at the start of a player’s career?

    Tbf, if Stead was the coach during Hadlee’s time, the great man’s career average might be under 20 since he wouldn’t have been picked until at least 1980.

    New Zealand doom and gloom thread

    Steve Rixon was the best coach we have ever IMO. The difference in the side from 1996 to 1999 when he stood down was huge. It took someone with strong leadership to finally get Cairns to turn in some world class performances and to realize his potential. Imagine what he would have done with the...

    Meanwhile the headline from McCullum is that “Exposed England need to get better.” That is the kind of talk I want coming out of the camp.

    I think the game was really lost when we went from 270-3 to 370 all out. Another 50 runs and Australia need 100 with 3 wickets remaining.

    This debate about the current 4th seamer and Wagner is all due to NZ stupidly not trying some new seamers against Sri Lanka last summer.

    It wouldn’t matter if it’s the roadyish McRoad of all-time, this shot batting lineup is not making 200 against Australia. The same batting lineup would have made 535-4 dec against Sri Lanka today, little Tommy Latham filling his boots.

    Ben Sears to get hit on the toe and won’t be able to bowl. We’ll drop two catches before the day is out.

    Just what I need. A roving reporter who knows nothing about cricket cheerfully telling me that the match is not over.
