Equivalent of a 100 in other sports?

Yankees · #1 March 24, 2018, 09:16 PM

Centuries scored is often the standard in determining the worth of a batsman. Wonder where you guys would rate this accomplishment in relation to individual achievements in other sports. Here's some possibilities:

Soccer/football: hat-trick
Hockey: Hat-trick
Baseball: Grand slam. I actually think grand slams come down to luck and not a good measure. Maybe more like having a 5-RBI game.
Basketball: Double-Double
American Football: Rushing or passing 400-yards. Or scoring 3 touchdowns
Rugby: no idea, don't follow.

Hat-tricks in soccer is relatively rare. I think out of all of these, a double-double in basketball is probably the closest, given how likely it's to occur in a game and what kind of an impact it has for the team.

hatrick in soccer or any goal sport is like a triple century in cricket. its super rare.
double-double in basketball is like a hundred. or scoring 40+ points, getting 15+ rebounds. i dont know what the baseball equivalent would be. probably a home run of any kind.

A century...equivalent to 3 (more I guess?) RBIs in baseball...

aklemalp · #4 March 24, 2018, 10:29 PM

Also, a formula 1 victory...

OR

starting at pole position.

A 6-0 set in tennis might be close to a century

Whats the equivalent of a triple axel double jump in cricket.

40+ is probably the closest in terms of effect on game. Also, same objective - putting as many points on the board.

3 RBIs are way too common in baseball. You can also get it in 1 hit under right circumstances. 5-RBI game is probably is more appropriate, but luck and quality of teammates can also play a huge factor.

A century in cricket is equivalent to ONE goal in football. Not more, not less. BTW what the hell is soccer?

Soccer is that game where you kick a ball with your foot. Frankly can't think of another word that better describes it.

and no way. The rate at which goals are scored in a soccer game is way higher than the rate at which centuries are scored. Maybe a brace is more equivalent.

In soccer, 1 goal is hard enough lol. Probably that alone counts as a century in my book.

it's hard, but a century is harder. I've also seen plenty of fluke goals. Cant do that with a century.

not really, i would put three goals equal to century. it is as hard as making century. cause in football there are plenty of goals come with flukes where century has to be taken with lots of concentration and accuracy of facing many balls where one chance in football you can score a goal, be it pique or ramos.

adamnsu · #19 March 25, 2018, 04:00 AM

In football I would say 2 goals is a 100. A hat trick would be a double century as it happens rarely by the same player.

I agree with all the people who mentions one goal being equivalent close to a century. Anyone mentioning 2 or 3 goals probably watches parar football.

The comparison is not fair because cricket century is very individual whereas a goal is 90% of the time team driven.

Some of Messi's goal where he single handedly takes the ball from midfield to the back of the post is more than a century in my opinion.

iDumb · #22 March 25, 2018, 07:09 AM

This is a double century in ODI.. atleast 150 (in t20).. quadruple century in test

Penetrating 7 defenders out of 11 opposing players all by himself.

A five RBI game might be equivalent to a 250.

A grand slam equivalent to 300.

There are actual probabilities being done sometime ago on this.

The numbers are there, we just need to do the calculations.

aklemalp · #24 March 25, 2018, 08:32 AM

Stanton might be equivalent to a Gayle.

Harper equivalent to a Joe Root

Clayton Kershaw to a Mitchell Starc...

'All Rise' Judge to a Kohli?

A grand slam is one of those things that sound really impressive, but actually isnt. After all, is a grand slam any different than a normal home run? The only difference is that the stars aligned for you and you got bases loaded. Requires a lot of luck and/or competent teammates.
