eddy Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 I am not emotionally invested in the Ashes as I'd prefer both teams to lose. I only have one wish and that is that David Warner keeps averaging at or below his IQ. He is now sitting at 11.28 so it is a close run thing Warthog, Joe De Beer, HOEKVLAG and 3 others 6
'Dale Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) No love lost there, hey @eddy Hehehe Edited September 4, 2019 by 'Dale eddy 1

Mntboy Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 So here's a question for guys. What ties the following five players together (other than playing in this match)? Buttler, Stokes, Leach, Smith and Head. The answer might surprise you.
Mntboy Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 cable ties will tie anything together [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] But no, you're ice cold. Let's just say they are members of a unique club that a few would suggest means they are especially talented at one part of the game. gemmerbal 1

Mntboy Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 wait im still trying to figure it out...Some clues: it's a changeable statistic and Leach is the anomaly of the group I've mentioned.

gemmerbal Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 you win this time, i have nothing... Some clues: it's a changeable statistic and Leach is the anomaly of the group I've mentioned.
Mntboy Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) you win this time, i have nothing...They all have higher Test batting averages than they do First Class batting averages. Leach leads the way ito differential. His Test match batting average is 19.5 whereas his FC average is 11.9. Next is the two Aussies (Smith 63.24 v 58.19, Head 45.72 v 39.5) followed by Stokes (35.86 v 34.77) and then Buttler (32.9 v 32.05). Like I mentioned earlier this a very changeable statistic due to fact that it's tied to their batting averages over different levels of the game. Clearly being able to average higher in Test matches is a good indication that a player is potentially a brilliant one. At least with batsmen. Also this is an obscure statistic as well.

gemmerbal Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 as has been my problem since my childhood days, i look in the right area but i dont see the solution... well played sir!

Mntboy Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 as has been my problem since my childhood days, i look in the right area but i dont see the solution... well played sir!Like I said it is an obscure statistic/metric so it stands to reason that people wouldn't necessarily jump to that conclusion. I suspect that Leach's will drop below his FC average at some point being a non batsman. As for the rest they might or might not depending on form. And also this is pretty similar to how some batsmen might get refered to as playing a 'Cowan' ie batting very slowly in a similar manner to ex Aussie opener Ed Cowan. Not something that occurs regularly.
