Highest scores
Recently I got thinking about Flappy Bird scores, and noted that they should be similar to cricket scores in the way they're distributed.
Translating the problem to cricket, the question is, "What is the relationship between a batsman's highest score, his average, and the number of innings he's batted in?" A follow-up question is how well such a formula predicts, say, the average based on the innings and highest score. I expected there to be quite a lot of scatter (assessing a batsman on just one innings!), but the correlation ended up being pretty decent. This isn't a particularly useful correlation, but I found it fun to play with.
Given the average, the probability that a batsman makes a score less than x is roughly (1 - exp(-x/avg)). Treating each innings as independent of the others, the probability that all N of a batsman's innings are less than x is therefore (1 - exp(-x/avg))N.
A natural "expected" highest score, given the batsman's average, would be the value x such that the probability that all innings are less than x is 1/2. Calling this value HS, we have
(1 - exp(-HS/avg))N = 1/2,
which is the basic relation between highest score, average, and number of innings batted.
Solving for HS (i.e., what highest score do we expect, given average and innings batted?):
HS = -avg * ln(1 - 0.51/N).
Solving for avg (given only highest score and innings batted, what do we think the batsman's average is?):
avg = -HS / ln(1 - 0.51/N).
Using the latter formula as a predictor works surprisingly (to me) well:
The weird qualification of 50 dismissals rather than innings is because I began by including all abtsmen with at least 2 dismissals, and at sample sizes this small, I figured dismissals would be useful to avoid not-out irregularities. (The R-squared is actually a bit higher, about 0.78, in that expanded sample.)
I doubt I'll ever use this formula, but Perhaps the most amusing individual result is Shane Warne: based on his average and innings batted, his "predicted" high score is... 98! So he didn't quite deserve that hundred after all.
Full table, straight off Statsguru – I was so lazy that I didn't even turn off the ICC game.
