Surprised Hussey is so low though, I had always thought of him as someone who was good at turning the strike over. Perhaps in his and North's case the problem is batting with the tail, where you often turn down singles in order to keep the strike.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756577987173700191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957117710153695243.post-24399305494039869452011-01-04T12:45:19.846+13:002011-01-04T12:45:19.846+13:00Yeah, I was surprised by the top 3, as they all ar...Yeah, I was surprised by the top 3, as they all are known as big hitters. However I guess that the captains tend to push back the fields for them, leaving more opportunities for singles and twos. Even still, 0.45 is incredible for Dilshan. <br /><br />I'm working on a look at Australia's top 7's activity vs their wining ratio per year for tonight. I'm guessing that the more active they are, the more games they won. The question though is which causes which? More defensive fields = higher activity ratings, but scoring more runs = more chance of winning.Mykuhlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16821799061116228138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957117710153695243.post-55676207802955686172011-01-04T10:12:24.648+13:002011-01-04T10:12:24.648+13:00Interesting stuff!

Slightly surprising Sehwag is so high - suggests he is more of a genuine run scorer than I would have given him credit for.<br /><br />Probably a massive piece of work but would be interested to see the change in the average activity rating through time.ManInBeigenoreply@blogger.com
