Cricket things that annoy you

I haven’t researched how in-depth this is for stats, but it links to cricketarchive

The ACS – The Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians

acscricket.com

I’m pretty sure there’s a way to view stuff on cricketarchive while bypassing the paywall, not sure what it is and it’s bad faith/borderline illegal to do so

At least CA is one of the rare sites that retains initials on scorecards since wisden has ditched them as well

Jake Fraser-McGurk is the most overrated bat in the country. Averages 18 in FC cricket, cant get in the SA side and has had one good hit in one day domestic. Shouldnt be anywhere near the australian side.

Reminds me of the fat lower grades slogger who would hit 15 off an over then get out last ball trying to put another over the fence, then tells you he got ball of the day

That innings yesterday was one of the worst I've seen.

He had a good IPL but that is the equivalent to a good innings on North Sydney Oval or in his case, Karen Rolton. Not discounting the IPL at all but the batting conditions particularly this year were ridiculously favourable.

Average players playing 1st class cricket.

Plenty of things you can criticise Fraser-McGurk for, but his first class stats are completely irrelevant. He'll never be a red ball cricketer, and that's absolutely fine.

The lack of Isa Guha.

picking a squad for a 3 match odi series, only to add a few for the final odi and dud the W.A people of seeing smith, cummins, starc, marnus and hazlewood (rested) - leaving no test players in the squad for the final odi.

i have decided to criticise this player will cherry pick stats to support my argument

his one day domestic record is also pretty average
