I agree that stats cannot prove who is a match winner. However, when a MOm is awarded, its awarded based on everything that the judge see on the game. not only the score card. if you don't believe the concept of 'match maker' I salute you.

But I don;t agree with people who says stat cannot judge a match winnerand then in the next thread say that he or she is a match winner without showing any measurable criteria.

I also don't believe in match winner. thats why I opened this thread. I wanted to make sure no body should get a free ride in the team in the name of "match winner" as we don't have any in out TEST team .
