fineleg Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 I disagree. I think we should get rid of "landmark" special points esp ODIs. I have made my suggestion, all set for varun to reject it :D
varun Posted November 9, 2007 Author Posted November 9, 2007 I disagree. I think we should get rid of "landmark" special points esp ODIs. I have made my suggestion, all set for varun to reject it :D :P The landmarks for ODI's have very few points (much fewer than tests), anyway I'll take a look at this after the series. Don't want to change the formula during the ongoing series.

Guest Hiten. Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Damn!!!!! I thought if you substitute a player who has 0 point with another player who has 0 point, you don't get penalized. I replaced Mills for Pollock and got penalized -50 :S :(

Mr. Wicket Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Aaah... i forgot to add the 5 for his 50.. :D Now that i think of it, i would actually stick withe ContainmentWeight of .3 A cw of .5 gives too much importance to the SR, which in my opinion arent that big a factor in tests. For eg, in the 2002 Leeds test against Ind and Eng, Sanjay Bangar's 68 off 236 balls fetches 67.2 while Michael Vaughan's 61 off 116 gets hi m 72.08. But Bangar's innings was terribly important. As I was telling varun over MSN, strike rates mean sod all in test cricket because of how complex the game is. Match situations change and make occupation of the crease paramount at times, at other points the speed of run scoring does really start to matter and you can even have situations where scoring too quickly can be counterproductive or quite useless - something like a run a ball 50 would get a lot more SS points than a 35 off 120 balls, but if both knocks came on the final day of a test with a team batting for a draw, the slower/longer knock would be far more useful. And there's no way to account for all this with a computer programme. And yes, that Bangar knock was bloody vital - far more so imo than Ganguly's ton the following day.
