Question for Kriterion
If you select a player to bat at No.6 yet their best numbers are batting at No.5 do you still get their innings at No.5 or just at No.6 ??

Re: Draft 2: Playoffs
Excellent question. I was originally just going to take the random innings regardless of what number it was at. But I guess to really make it more realistic I will do it at the position you select.
If someone selects a player in a position he's never played, I will just revert back my original plan of taking the random innings no matter what position it was in.
How does that sound?

Re: Draft 2: Playoffs
It sounds like a lot of extra traffic for Cricinfo's Statsguru, and opens up the next can of worms because the sample size might again be very small in some cases. What if someone batted all their career at 4 or 5, but happens to average 100 at no. 6 where he only batted two or three times?Kriterion_BD wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 9:26 amExcellent question.

Why not keep it simple and stay with the random innings? Everyone seems obsessed with the batters; the same questions and complications could be raised with regard to bowlers: Opening bowlers, fist change, bowling in power-plays, bowling at the death, boring bowling in the boring middle overs ...

Re: Draft 2: Playoffs
Basically, if someone can provide spreadsheet(s) with the raw data for all of the drafted players - I'd just code a script so we (1) specify which team XI's are involved; (2) follow the set of rules that Kriterion_BD ends up deciding on to pick random batting/bowling innings of the participating players from the spreadsheet; (3) do any other calculations Kriterion_BD wants so that we get an innings total for each team

Re: Draft 2: Playoffs
What jaybro did there is equivalent to:
1. Showing red rag to a bull
2. Going fishing in troubled waters.
3. Saying "Come on bull, hit me"
a.k.a. inviting trouble.

Re: Draft 2: Playoffs
Just take the random innings, ireespective of where they have batted. Otherwise I may as well bat Eoin Morgan at 11 to ensure his overall career performances are taken into account.

Fair enough. This is what I had planned on doing originally.
