For a while now I've been thinking about series impact as a decent measure of a cricketers worth.
- I have not counted one-off Tests as series (so included 2 or more)
- I have awarded different points ranging from 4 to -3 depending on how good/bad their series average was
- Just a minor thing, if a batsman remained not out for the series and scored a stack of runs (Kallis did this) they'd get the full rating for that series.
So I looked at the top 10 leading runscorers of all time:
SR TENDULKAR
RT PONTING
JH KALLIS
R DRAVID
AN COOK
KC SANGAKKARA
BC LARA
S CHANDERPAUL
DPMD JAYAWARDENE
AR BORDER
and from best to worst the scores were:
2.2121
2.0571
1.9487
1.9286
1.9259
1.8983
1.7193
1.7069
1.6981
1.4681
Can anyone guess the order based on batsmen impact per series?
