Ross Taylor didn’t get to chose who he played. It’s not Mitch Johnson’s fault he only got to bowl to the English this summer. Surely that has skewed his stats

Interesting concept. I will do some further work on it.
Hundreds, ducks, averages and #RootMaths
Since when was Perry better known for her “relationships”?
Ridiculous statement
Ellyse Perry deserves more recognition
Thanks Adam. I’m working on my theory. May need to incorporate box graphs and spreads
Hundreds, ducks, averages and #RootMaths
The worst thing is that the article was groundbreaking. : )
Hundreds, ducks, averages and #RootMaths
If you are reading this, please disregard the article.
As the author, not only are the images not showing properly, but 1/4 of the article was not published making the analysis nonsensical.

So he makes his hundreds when the Ashes are on the line and then say he is in a form slump?
Clarke in third worst slump of career
So?
George Bailey shares a Test batting record with Brian Lara
Debunking the Ben Stokes myth
The only Away Test wins in 2013 where against Zimbabwe.
Not sure #3 Aus can get #1 Sth Africa at home. Steyn, Morkel and Vernon will not allow Australia to score enough runs
Is Australia a real chance in South Africa?
Chris, why can’t we use standard deviation mathematic theory on cricket stats? Call it “Cricket Ball”
Debunking the Ben Stokes myth
Tim,
The point of the article was to highlight that the hype was ridiculous. I’m sure Stokes will be an OK cricketer.
To be fair, if it wasn’t for the 1981 Ashes, Ian Botham wouldn’t be remembered for much other than hanging around longer than he should have…like Sachin
Debunking the Ben Stokes myth
I don’t even know who reported he was the next Botham, but I assume someone did. Probably The Mirror
Debunking the Ben Stokes myth
That’s my point Barry
I am challenging and re filtering how we look at stats
We already do it by other factors eg home v away, which country it was against, etc
Removing outlying events provides for some interesting reading.
Eg Marcus North made 5 tons in 21 matches. Sounds great. But remove the tons and he only made double figures 50% of the innings remaining.
Is that as valuable as a guy who averages 35 like North, but makes between 25 and 45 every innings?
Debunking the Ben Stokes myth
Interesting call
Corey averages 37 with the bat and 19 with the ball at Test level
Also has a Test century and half the Economy Rate of Stokes
Interesting call
Debunking the Ben Stokes myth
The NZ heritage is a bit tongue in cheek, but the fact remains that one good innings with the bat and one innings with the ball that got some wickets doesn’t make an Ian Botham.
At best, it makes a Colin Miller
Debunking the Ben Stokes myth
..yet incredibly accurate
