Post series ODI WEIR Update (Jan 1, 2008)

[al Furqaan]

the first ODI series since the introduction of the WEIR ratings is concluded, lets see how we did:

Batting ODI WEIR (previous WEIR)

Aftab - 20.33 (20.52) .....difference -0.19
Sakib - 17.85 (19.15) .....difference -1.30
Ash - 14.72 (14.29) ....difference +0.43
Tamim - 13.54 (12.15) ...difference +1.39
Farhad - 13.36 (16.06) ...difference -2.70
Mehrab - 8.77 (9.72) .....difference -0.95
Tushar - 8.49 (NA)
Rahim - 8.42 (9.78) ......difference -1.36



Bowling ODI WEIR (previous WEIR)

Razzak - 26.09 (29.59) .....difference -3.50
Mash - 13.74 (15.17) .......difference -1.43
Sakib - 8.44 (8.82) .........difference -0.38
Shahadat - 7.56 (11.02) ...difference -3.46
Farhad - 0.53 (NA)

1) as expected all batsman went down, but sakib, farhad, mehrab, and mushy went down significantly.
2) only ash and tamim improved their ratings, with tamim showing massive improvements despite his terrible 3rd match
3) all the bowlers struggled with razzak taking the biggest hit. ouch. rajib bowled better than those stats suggest, while mash got off lightly.
4) farhad's rating would have actually went up, and probably by a lot too, but i never calculated a WEIR for him before. besides his current rating is still infintesmal.
5) lets hope our Test WEIRs fare better...
