All Rounders Do Not Exist Part - II

any reason why you believe this? A cricketer plays 2 months per year in IPL, how can his ipl performances be the standard to judge him? Especially when foreign players like stokes may not even play the full season. Maybe you should edit the title to "All rounders do not exist in IPL"

 

The number of variables involved in IPL are lot less which leads to better stats. Everyone faces about the same attack and same conditions leading to more controlled outcome.

 

In tests etc. you are playing different bowlers under different conditions which leads to more variables.

 

In brief if cricket does not assign weight to a bowler then all runs scored are not meaningful.

 

A 4 scored against Bumrah should not count the same as a 4 score against Hardik.

So if similar observation can be made based on BPL, we can conclude that Wrist spinners does not exist? And based on LPL, fast bowlers do not exist? 

 

Maybe your logic can be used when ipl becomes an all year event like the baseball league. Right now, international cricket is where all the elite players play majority of their game, so using a qualifier in your statement ".. in IPL" would be more appropriate.

This problem is inherent to cricket, taking ipl as gold standard still wouldn't solve this issue. Cricket by design is a collection of individual 1 v 1 matchups that are counted together in a team. Whether its test cricket or ranji or ipl, this fundamental formula doesn't change. 

 

In fact, taking ipl as gold standard exaggerates this issue because each bowler and batsmen face each very few balls, we can't arrive at any meaningful conclusion. For example, rabada bowled just 13 balls to rohit sharma across three seasons. How can you conclude anything about their talent vs each other using only ipl?

After reading the headline of the thread 

I was thinking you will deep dive into the performance of allrounders and show us some unbelievable stats and  dazzle us. 

Instead you gave us that Ben Stokes performance logic 

 

Is there some point which i am missing or is this thread really stupid. 

Allrounders provide much needed balance to the team and yes sometimes even a bits and pieces allrounder is better than a fully fledged batsman for the balance of the team.. 

 

 

As for Hardik Pandya, i totally get wgere you are coming from, he hasn't performed in international cricket at the level that he is supposed to but we need to be patient. Also all those comparisons with Kapil dev are ridiculous to say the least.

In a poor team devoid of good bowlers I may get few wkts too.

 

India or NZ werent great sides back then by that logic even hadlee n Kapil perfomances shud be looked down upon. Top sides were WI, Pak, Aus then 

Remeber bhajji taking 32 wkts, that shud be looked down upon coz others bowlers were absolutely useless

and 

  • sobers
  • botham
  • Imran
  • Kapil
  • holder
  • shakib
  • flintoff
  • watson
  • hadlee

No one proves my point better than you. Thanks for not putting Pandya/Shankar name there.

 

In 100 years of Indian cricket you have only one player to show for and that is Kapil. Q.E.D. they do not exist.

I wish I could. My knowledge of Analytics is limited but one day I might be able to do that. Just dont have the time.

 

What you call much needed balance is called by others as Jack of All Trades and master of None.

pandya cud bowl

kapil test bowling avg 29

hardik 31

 

so yea he can bowl 

you have to take into account how many overs kapil/pandya bowl in the matches they played before comparing averages. Kapil was our primary wicket taking option and had to bowl in every match and innings. hardik is 3rd change bowler who only bowls in swinging conditions and to give break to other bowlers

 

Anyways pandya is not competing with kapil for his place in the team. he don't have to be equal to or better than kapil to get into test team, he should just be able to bowl 10-12 overs and be better than vijay shankar/shardul thakur to get into our team in england and SA tour

but to always dismiss someone taking legend name is foolish when no one becomes a legend in 3-4yrs and if someone wants to go down that road well numbers arent bad if anything that shud say he is goo enough

A fit hardik can give u 10-15 overs every day in test

When KApil was playing there was no option. There are a dozen bowlers better than Pandya. Atleast a dozen.
