All Time ODI Cricket Draft <---Shravis uppp

[drainpipe32]

Out of 45-50 tbch. Someone like Ponting would be a 45, a Clarke would be 42, White would be 38, etc.

Just use the averages. Cricsim works on Bowling and Batting averages anyways.

 

[drainpipe32]

I always felt using averages was dodgy. Someone like Gilchrist or Sehwag averages 35/34, which definitely isn't their full value to a team.

Does it work on strike rates as well? That would bring the players Gazza mentioned, Gilchrist and Sehwag (as well as other players) closer to their full value to a team.

I've just downloaded Cricsim. I'll have a play around with it, and possibly sim the games; just so we get this thing moving again.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

No strike rates, but players with lower batting averages are usually more explosive, and with higher bowling averages more economical.

 

[shravi]

It's just pointless if there are no strike rates. This is an ODI draft. I'm out.

 

[King Pietersen]

Agree with Shrav. It's largely pointless if strike-rates aren't taken into consideration. Someone else can sim it if they like, but I'm not going to bother.

I guess a poll for members to vote for what they consider to be the best team is the way to go then?

You could just multiply average by strike rate/100.
Sehwag would get 34.25 x 1.0351 = 35.45
Michael Clarke by comparison would get 42.31 x 0.7747 = 32.78

But then you've got the problem of adjusting for eras too. I mean take my #4 Allan Lamb who's strike rate of 75 was a pretty decent one back in the 80s. Now it would be below average. And for bowlers it's worse. Joel Garner's RPO was a smidge above 3. The modern day bowlers are greats if they get below 4 RPO.

If someone has a set of ratings from another source we can steal I'd like to see a sim done just for fun. But honestly, creating a set of ratings from scratch sounds like way too much effort just so we can declare someone a winner...

 

[shravi]

We don't need a winner tbh.

 

[drainpipe32]

Yeah, we all know my team's the best

 

[drainpipe32]

Just bumping this one, as we have another two coming up. New drafters can look through this and find out how we did it last time.

I think it's fair to say I 'won' this one

Bollocks :laugh

Not really. All teams can claim to be the best except for Cricketman and Stinky.
