Stupendous work. 

 

My suggestions: 

 

1. Names, ratings, numbers etc ka font size can be increased, made more striking since a bit difficult to track

2. More colour contrast

3. If you could put a pic of the number one player by the side, it will be more interesting, like this

4. If you could end the video with cummulative weeks at #1, maybe top 5 (or 10 if there are that many!!!) eg if Steyn was #1 for 40 months, Philander for 20. Anderson, Ashwin etc, make a list of that, represent it in the form of bar chart, and just hold it for a few seconds. So that people know who dominated the table overall. Needless to say I am suggesting all this for both videos. 

5. Multiple background scores instead of one monotonous one. When Steyn or Smith are at the top I would love to see some regal music. 

 

These are just suggestions since you asked, feel free to ignore them. God knows how many hours you put into this. Hope the rankings are accurate. Top video

@NikolaIf you have time do make one for the team test rankings. 

 

I have seen similar videos for tennis, chess, football with millions of views. Happy to see an ICFer do for test cricket, that too both batting and bowling. These videos deserve more views. And if OP can extend them to beyond one decade and include team rankings these should be the most viewed cricket related videos on YT. 

 

Hope ICFers appreciate this effort, we need to make this guy more popular. @sandeep @Trichromatic @Cricketics @jalebi_bhai can we put this in the articles page and with OP's permission, tweet them from ICF handle? If some ICFers know prominent people associated with BCCI, ICC maybe this effort can be enjoyed by more people.

Thanks for great feedback. I really appreciate it.

 

1. Will increase font and contrast for upcoming video.

2. Reason for not adding pic of #1 ranked player at that time is copyrights. I have lost couple of accounts due to that and i can't take any random player images available on google. Most free ones are crap and paid ones cost in thousand each. Looking for solutions for this.

3. I will make sure to look at your other suggestions while making future videos. Thanks again for taking time to write such a valuable feedback.

 

Also, idk if it's worth it but looking to make most days spent as #1 bowler & batsman. Stats not available easily so will have to dig deep.

Idk if it's possible but i will try to show days spent as #1 team from say 1970s or 80s. I am noob in data collection & filtering atm so might need bit time.

Hope you find a way past this. Not many top ranked players, maybe 6-7 each from batting/bowling.

Sure take your time, was just a suggestion, ignore it if it is too difficult.
