Tracking The Gap - Boss vs Ponting

[CSK Fan]

No that's like saying someone scoring more hatricks makes them a better player.

nope. Hattricks can be more like the equivalent of 3 sixes in a row. Hundreds are the equivalent of taking 5-fers or 10-fers in a match. and they do make you a better bowler

Not really, you could get out after 18 runs. That isn't equivelant to a hatrick. A players batting average is more of a determinant of a better player, than 100's is.

So 5-fers and 10-fers dont count for in a bowler?

I'd say they do count, I'm not saying centuries don't count either. I'm just saying that I don't think they make you a superior batsman if you have more of them than someone else. Do you believe that someone who has a lower average but more centuries is a better batsman then someone with less centuries but a better average afte the same amount of innings ?

How does average help in the team goal. Is it better to score big frequently with low scores in between (as a person having more 100s and less average) or to score consistantly without making huge scores (like a batsmen with more average with less 100s). i think both have their own values. But if their are two batsmen wit equivalent avergaes, wouldnt the one having more 100s be better?

In which case their scores are maybe less consistent. I do get your point however sometimes a team needs a consistent player who they know will always score runs. For example, Marcus North, he either gets a big score or goes cheaply.

hmmmm scores of 100, 0 , 100, 0 , 100, 0 ( 3 potentially match winning scores) vs 50,50,50,50,50,50 ( 6 potentially ...ummmm..... maybe match winning scores) so MTC ur saying option number 1 is better and bradman is saying 2 is better?

Indeed, a better comparison would have been something like 5 wickets in an innings is equivalent to a hatrick in football.

which means 1 six = 1 wicket?

[CSK Fan]

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

ok, maybe its the equivalent of 5-6 sixes ina row. Both can turn matches on their head and rarely happen. But wouldnt you agree a 100 would be a n equivalent of a 5-fer?

Not really. But if two batsmen have more or less equal average then wouldnt the one with more 100s be a better bat?

[CSK Fan]

No. Three sixes in a row is not equal to three sixes hit anytime time in an innings. Similarly, 3 wickets in 3 deliveries is not equal to three wickets taken during the whole innings. Both of them (3 sixes in a row or a hattrick) are very unlikely to happen and can turn a match on its head

[Bradman99]

Not really. But if two batsmen have more or less equal average then wouldnt the one with more 100s be a better bat?

Well, look at that example they have the same average. So take your pick ? Like I said, I know what you mean, but I just don't thinkit makes them a BETTER batsman, certainly if they have more centuries but a similar average it can't be looked at badly, but I don't think it should be looked at as them being a superior batsman. For the extra century that player may have got, he may have stuffed up when the team needed him to consolidate, the other player with less centuries may have got a 70 odd.
