/cric/ - the cricket

ESPNcricinfo has learnt from sources that over the four days leading upto the Test, the pitch got only about half the water it gets before a usual first-class match. Brushes were used to remove the grass and rough the pitch up. Only 2mm grass was left. Information of highs of 37 degrees over the week was readily available on every weather forecast site.
The curators are now not accessible. Salgaoncar was not at the ground the day after the Test, and refused to meet at his residence in Pune. Daljit is back in Chandigarh, but calling his phone drew no response.
ESPNcricinfo understands that given the nature of the soil, a mix of two different black clays, the pitch needed some grass to hold it together in such heat. That it was too big a risk to leave it as dry as it was left. The curators had relayed this information to those in power, but were overruled and were asked to give in to the team's demands conveyed to them through the BCCI top brass.

Fucking POORIOUS right now lads.

Cricket is basically a dumb and boring version of baseball. The amount of subtlety and tactical and athletic ability on display in baseball makes cricket looks like the shitty joke that it is.

Cricket will NEVER be able to match the tradition and history and folklore of baseball either.

And don't even get me started on attendance and revenue. Baseball attracts 75 million people annually just in the MLB. Further 25 million people attend Japanese baseball and add other millions in caribbean and other nations. On the other hand, if you add up all the cricket attendances worldwide, they would struggle to cross even 10 million ROFLOL.

And oh, MLB is a $9.5 BILLION annual industry! Cricket is not even 1/10th of that LMAO.

All in all, cricket can fuck right off.

>>74415150

>>74415168
Begins a limited number of wickets (10) means that you're allowed a higher level of aggression the shorter the amount of time you have to bat.

>>74415183
what?

>>74415187
Because, not begins. If you reduce it to absurdity it makes sense. If you had 200 overs to score 200 runs, but only 10 wickets to give, you'd be rather cautious. But if the other team had 2 overs to score 2 runs, but with 10 wickets to give, they'd be aggressive.
D/L has to account for that.

Abdul dropping some absolute truthies

How do I into swing bowling in Don Bradman 17?

For a while now, I've been pondering the question of how to define an "allrounder" in cricket. Clearly the term is meant to apply to someone with multiple skills - the vast majority of the time this is batting and bowling. But there's never been a clear way to identify who's an"allrounder" and who's just a batsman who occasionally bowls a few pies. What I'm going to try and do here is identify the problems with the current approaches, and then demonstrate a new way to think about allrounders that hopefully solves most of said problems.

>The Current Approaches

When you ask a cricket fan how, statistically, you figure out who an allrounder is, you generally hear one of two responses. Both of these responses, sadly, conflate the question "is this player an allrounder?" with the different question "is this player a good allrounder?".

>1. "You're an allrounder if your batting average is higher than your bowling average".

This is a clearly flawed approach. For the most obvious issue, look at the list of test players sorted by batting average minus bowling average. It has a certain Alastair Nathan Cook at the top, courtesy of three total overs bowled and the wicket of Ishant Sharma for seven runs. Awkward.
You can try to get around this by instituting minimum numbers of runs and wickets, but then you run into the problem that you start cutting players out entirely that only played a few tests. Plus, no matter what maximums or minimums you institute, you end up removing players like Dan Vettori (batting average 30, bowling average 34). If you were to ask a cricket fan to name some allrounders of the last 10-20 years, Vettori would be on most peoples' lists, so any metric that excludes him or similar players is probably pretty wrong.

>>74428420
2. "You're an allrounder if you've scored, say, 1000 runs and 50 wickets in your career."

Again, flawed. Right off the bat, this doesn't work for people that only played a few tests; also, this falls over in the case of bowlers with long careers. Warne scored more than 3000 test runs, Murali more than 1000, but it's extremely generous to call either of them allrounders.

>The new approach

What I therefore want is a metric that is scaleable - it measures "allrounder-ness" no matter how good a player you are or how much you've played. This is something I really hate; somehow someone can be an allrounder or not depending on performance, which think is ridiculous. It doesn't happen for other roles in cricket - Ishant does not somehow cease to be classified as a test bowler just because he sucks.

To do this, I'd like to take a step back slightly and think about not how much a player has contributed to each game but rather how much they've participated.

Think about a test match. Whenever a ball is bowled, there are really two important players on the field (the bowler,and the batsman) and a whole lot of irrelevant ones. What we can therefore do is try to measure, for each player, during their career, how much of their time (how many balls) they spent bowling; compared to how many balls they spent batting. This should give us a better measure of how much of an allrounder a player is.

Generally we can assume that the average test cricket team has about 6.5 batsmen including the wicketkeeper and about 4.5 bowlers. However, in a completed innings the bowlers bat as well, but for less time, maybe 1/3. I'd therefore suggest that a full time batsman spends about 1/8 of team time batting. Obviously a full time bowler would spend about 1/4.5 of team time bowling.

>>74428421
Let's take the case of the theoretical perfect allrounder, who puts in a full quota of overs and bats like a full time batsman. Doing the maths on the above, and assuming the whole team bats for about as long as they bowl, gives you a ratio of batting to bowling of about 56%. So, the "well-balanced allrounder" will spend a little over half the time batting as bowling; this makes sense given that the whole team shares the batting load but only half the team usually bowls.

What this gives us is a neat way to measure how a player has participated in games throughout their career, ie as a batsman or a bowler. I'll follow this up by posting a list of players sorted by batting to bowling ratio - you can very quickly see that it makes a lot of intuitive sense and doesn't give me too many silly results like putting Cook as the best allrounder of all time.

>The Results

This is test matches only. To calculate these as per above, I look up the player's total balls faced as a batsman and divide by the total balls bowled as a bowler. For example, Watson has faced 7094 balls as a batsman and bowled 5495 balls as a bowler. 6893/5321 = 129%, so Watson is unsurprisingly a batting allrounder.
I do need balls faced data for this, so I can't go back past the early '90s.

Do remember that this is a sliding scale and my categories are somewhat arbitrary and for color only.

I don't like this idea too much. It makes sense from a bowling perspective but places far too much emphasis on survivability in batting

what really has got me thinking is that Starc is universally considered a bowler, not even a bowler who can bat a bit, but yet he is currently in the ICC top 10 allrounders

nine fifty please

Kane is such a shit captain

On that one, is there single good captain left? Pissrat is the only one I can think of that isn't dog fucking shit

>>74438125
Shads tttt

oh and du plessis is good I guess

>>74439334

Mcmeme was definitely better
At least he had some interesting fields

>>74439334
>>74439346
this

>>74439353
"interesting"

The Melbourne accent is so fucking shit. Literally makes my ears bleed
Sydney and Adelaide have the best accents

>its a boult and southee lose it in the death episode

>>74439396
Pooult is a mixed bag, but Kane needs to stop bowling Southee so much at the death
surely NZ have a better bowler than him for that role

Who is worse: Ronchi or Latham?

>>74439409
literally anyone else
southee just bleeds runs and almost never gets a wicket

>>74439445
never met or heard a single person from the territory

>>74439448
Ronchi. Latham is a genuinely promising test opener who should get better in loi as he gets older.

>>74439448
Ronchi got dropped from the Western Australia side

Haven't seen ronchi score runs in 10 years

>>74439448
ronchi is legit garbage

>>74439448
go to sleep

>I think New Zealand would like to go into the last few overs with wickets in hand

no fucking shit

>>74439458
The ones who haven't been terrorised by boongs are straight-shooting, down-to-earth types. They have an accent that also isn't influenced in some way by television broadcasting yet aren't the over-the-top look at me I'm compensating fucking cunt yeah cunt types in Melbourne or Sydney

What a difference a gup makes

Why didn't poouth africunt start 2 spinners?

Really shocking captaincy on display from AB

We only have one and a half spinners, gotta keep them for the middle openers and give the fast bowlers a chance with the new ball

That sign KEK

>my wife loves de kock

Which do you enjoy more, watching your team bat or bowl?

>>74439946
bowl

Genuine world class New Zealand team once there are no injuries and they sort out a decent opener:

The young kid from Auckland if he stops being a shit. Or if not him the someone who isn't a shit.
Guptill
Bane
Taylel
Latham since he is a shit as opener
Andershit
Santa
Matt Henry
Southee
Sodhi/Adam Milne depending on whether they want 2 spinners
Boult

That could be legit the best one day team in the world.

>>74439946

Would unironically want Ferguson over Henry

Like his gusto, even if he's a loose cunt

>>74439980
Nah Henry is class. Ferguson could maybe trade in for Milne.

go for a piss comeback and the poolapse has begun

>>74440019
have a good long look at the australian side that new zealand barely managed to beat

>>74440030

Twice

Beat them twice

>>74439954

>Andershit over Neeshit

You may as well be a namefaggot at this point, it's so obvious when you post.

>>74440055

Anderson is prettier

>>74440030
>barely
>2-0
Easily is the word la

>>74440045
Would've been 3 but for the rain.

>>74440063
delusion

neither were dominant victories
neither involved a full strength australian side
the last time new zealand played a full strength australian side they were demolished

>lose series 2-0
>talk shit
kek

Why are poopeelians so pathetic?

>>74440055

Andershit has been an absolute shit lately, I wouldn't mind to see Neesham over him but Anderson has proven to be a game changer at least occasionally.

>>74440090

Lmao and we don't even care about cricket

The only person who unironically wants Neeshit in the team is Daniel

>>74440078
>last time
Neither team is the same lad, saying that is delusional

i just noticed that >>74444444 is coming and i will be sleeping

Imagine being a ginger with only 7 toes

Reminder that when the Australian some to play NZ was named every Aussie poster said it would be an easy whitewash

Reminder that they were all correct but we're talking about the wrong team

Reminder that since then they have watched every New Zealand game to try criticise a team that is confirmed better than their team

>>74440184
>Reminder that when the Australian some to play NZ was named every Aussie poster said it would be an easy whitewash
no one said this
a full strength team would have destroyed new zealand, not one where aaron fucking finch was the best batsman

rock and roll

>>74440183
I'd cut off 4 toes and dye myself ginger in exchange for Laura and international batting dominance.

The canterbury B team would whitewash poopeelia
