The Statsguru Awards
January 16, 2009
The Statsguru Awards are based purely on numbers, from Tests and ODIs in 2008. However, they go beyond the usual stats – runs scored, wickets taken, batting averages and such – and are based instead on more detailed data analyses of performances. Which batsman played more consistently than any other over the entire year? Which batting pair was the most prolific through the year? Which bowler was at his best against the top batsmen of the year? The results are all based entirely on quantitative analyses of performance throughout the year, which makes these awards definitive and distinctive. Read on to find out more.
Note: all numbers exclude performances against Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, and other non-Test-playing teams.
