So, Tamim is the most unfortunate one I guess! Too sad:(

[BD-Shardul]

Three players WEIR got better and the rest worsened.

Tarporeo amra gola fataiya chitkar koira boli, We are improving....

[BD-Shardul]

Furqaan bhai, why the reference batman is Brian Lara? Such a reference exposes our real situation. Also if you have time compare BD batsmen's WEIR ratings to that of Zimbo's in ODIs. I am pretty sure the outcome of the comparison will be such that we fans will forget how to do lompho-jhompho like this :fire: for some days.

[al Furqaan]

the more matches a player has played, large deviations --> small ratings changes. vice versa for players who have few caps like tamim.

Mushfiqur Rahim............1.19.......1.54........(-0.35)

Haha man thats too funny.

I'd say Tamim is the worst performer compared to his usual standard.
And also it's not too sad rather it's simply very bad.

[nzfan]

this is where the weir rating falls down, Tamim had previously played 3 inning and his rating was that high, only because of his average

[Tigers_eye]

I protest. Where is our Abdur Razzak in batting? He was the highest scorer in one innings. What does he need to do to get in the list? Then only I can throw bricks at the super stars.

Green green up up!!

he had a high average with a high strike rate, like lara. lara's average is no better than jacques kallis (in fact its worse), but his rating is far superior because of his strike rate. which in tests isn't important, but when you've played as long as Lara has, its still very impressive nonetheless.
