Test match Records that will never be broken !!

[Blaze 18]

Every ****ing thread in CC turns into a dire bloody maths thread. Oooohhh how cool!! If I play with numbers as often as I play with my own balls, I can make anything happen.

****ing terrible. Just import the maths thread in here. I blame SS and his acolytes, who are mistakenly of the view maths is:

a. Interesting; and/ or
b. Cool.

If Chris Martin made 1* every innings, how many would it take for his average to surpass Bradman's? [Answer below]






















Who gives a flying ****?

My acolytes would know better than to treat cricket innings as a statistically valid sample.

And yes, maths is indeed both interesting and cool. You heathen.

TBH, and with all due respect to Burgey and the grumpy old men union, I've found this all quite interesting.

Sean's "if Bradman had got another 49 consecutive ducks he'd still average almost 60" revelation was pretty interesting, the rest was pretty meh.

If only there was a way to avoid reading threads that you disliked....

Yeah, I often think this way, too many people try and wade into stats to prove their point when there isn't even reason to do so. If you're attacting whatever qualifier to whatever in order to argue somethin, and then you miss something just as important out, might as well man up and admit the stats aren't your point.

Cricket, after all, is about more than numbers.

On the other hand, if you don't want to read a load of numbers perhaps a thread that is clearly all about that isn't for you. And maths is interesting and cool, so sod off.

4094, for the record.

(see how cool I am?)

LOL, what a stupid argument. It's the way the threads descend that he's bemoaning. Is he supposed to know that from the title?

And FTR, just because a thread is about records doesn't mean it should descend into an x+y fest, IMO anyway.

Agree with Furball really (which i've been doing far too much lately).

Love how the Indian fans get so wound up at the mere thought any batsman could score more test runs than Tendulkar. It may happen, might even be Cook, lets face it he could easily have 10,000 runs before he is 31 so will have plenty of years to chase down whatever tendulkar finishes with.

It's not a question of getting wound up.. I was merely extrapolating from his home record and the fact that opening the batting in England is a tough job.. much tougher than doing it in Australia or the subcontinent IMO. If Bell was to bat 4 in your lineup long-term (I know he has a poor record batting up the order) I reckon he could do it. As of now, I believe Smith and De Villiers have the best chance of doing it, of all the youngish batsmen. Sanga could have a shot at it as well.

.

Even so the course of action should be "Open thread -> Read thread -> Dislike thread -> Close thread -> Remember not to reopen thread"
Too often people would rather whinge and moan about what's being discussed rather than actually discuss the topic at hand or keep their mouths shut. Just because you don't like the particular direction a thread is heading down doesn't mean that you can just whine about it.
Not directed at anyone particular ftr.

Don't think Sanga will play enough Test cricket unfortunately. Think he'll be doing supremely well to hit 11k.

 

[Teja.]

Yeah, It's depressing that the best batsman in the world gets to play about 6 games an year and barely any outside the SC.

Still kills all of them, to his credit.

Yeah, true. Not only is he already 33 but Sri Lanka seem restricted to 3-Test series right now.

ABDV has a good shout but apart from him there's very few currently playing with a decent chance of beating the record. Could stand for a very, very long time.

 

[Cevno]

There is something very nice about when someone rudely says 'you're wrong' and get owned. Well done Sean.

Was going to mention that but didn't want to be mean

Done in by a Technicality ,tbh.

Still could have used the get out of the Language not being clear and too specific ,but thought better of it rather than engage in a pedantic debate.

Me too.

Who got wound up ?

Actually there are a Aussie fans and English too ,who get wound up reading anything to do with Bradman,which is not showering praise on him.

Can't understand why certain people are so obsessed with Bradman, considering that he retired more than 60 years ago FFS.

Easy as that.
