Good enough to score a ton if luck goes his way on a good deck. <BR/><BR/>He played some good innings this summer and he'll improve some more over the next few seasons. <BR/><BR/>He has a good eye and solid technique I guess it'll come down to how he divides up his practice. <BR/><BR/>Every hour spent batting is less time working on his bowling and vice versa. It's a tough job being an all rounder, especially on a losing team. <BR/><BR/>Still, I have high hopes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22713811.post-27167423951490758782009-01-03T03:11:00.000+01:002009-01-03T03:11:00.000+01:00Hey phobos.

So if I were to update the tables today, anyone who dismissed Duminy would get a little boost to his bowling average. But it'll fix itself once Duminy's average drops.<BR/><BR/>I haven't tried doing the second iteration - take the adjusted averages and then weight wickets and runs by them, etc. It'd take a bit of care - when doing the bowlers, you'd have to adjust both their wickets and their runs conceded, otherwise you'll just go back to low-scoring eras having low averages.<BR/><BR/>It's something I have in the back of my mind. If I get solidly back into cricket stats I'll do it eventually, but probably not in the short term.David Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378763233797445502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22713811.post-78092848033658494892009-01-02T18:08:00.000+01:002009-01-02T18:08:00.000+01:00Bit irrelevant to this article, but I was reading ...Bit irrelevant to this article, but I was reading your features on extended batting and bowling averages (http://pappubahry.blogspot.com/2007/12/modified-batting-averages.html) and I was wondering how they account for debuting players or players who have played very few matches. For example, after his century at the MCG, Jean-Paul Duminy has a batting average of 108.50. How is this dealt with? Also, how does this method work if bowling averages are based on batting averages which are based on bowling averages (Not very succinctly put but I'm sure you understand)?phoboshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365471234342276596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22713811.post-84191518104907455912009-01-01T09:59:00.000+01:002009-01-01T09:59:00.000+01:00New year greetings to you David.Mitch deserves a p...New year greetings to you David.<BR/><BR/>Mitch deserves a promotion up the order...at least a spot.Soulberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15830619858224129215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22713811.post-70837767303706060692009-01-01T09:22:00.000+01:002009-01-01T09:22:00.000+01:00David,A Happy New Year to you and all the best for...David,<BR/><BR/>A Happy New Year to you and all the best for your thesis.Viswanathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03511419586643916500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22713811.post-56042196127137286772008-12-24T16:11:00.000+01:002008-12-24T16:11:00.000+01:00Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Soulberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15830619858224129215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22713811.post-16354340785996205112008-12-20T13:38:00.000+01:002008-12-20T13:38:00.000+01:00Johnson's technique looks very sound, solid.
