 Topic: Acceptable Conversion RatesPosted: 08 May 2007 at 10:36am |

Flintoff's conversion rate is poor for someone who everyone raves on about and makes comparisons to Botham and co. 5 centuries and 24 fifties. nothing to get excited about. Ponting's conversion rate is ridiculously good his posted 69 fifty plus scores and on 33 occassions has gone on to score a hundred or more.

A mathematical point of order - if you score 25 100s and 25 50s that isn't, as repeatedly stated, a 1:1 conversion rate, that is a 1:2 conversion rate. Out of 50 scores over 50 the batsman has gone on to make a century 25 times, 1 out of every two 50+ innings.

When you win the toss - bat.
If you are in doubt, think about it - then bat. If you have very big doubts, consult a colleague - then bat. |

I somewhat doubt that you'll be posting that Miniwarney
It's quite interesting how many batsmen have hit as many hundreds as fifties or better, I always thought that batsmen always had more fifties.

Does anyone know what Pontings is since the ashes last year?

Judge the player not by their stats, but by their opposition.

Well DF, I have what I stated earlier is in reference to specialist batsmen. If one is also a bowler, then they are not 'expected' to get as many runs, nor should they have to. i.e. Saqlain, Gillespie have 1 score over 100, but they are not specialist batsmen, not even all rounders. The same goes for keepers.

What about Gillespie.
Dhoni has a great conversion rate too for an early career. |

In ODI cricket if you open or bat at three then a 1:3 or 4 100 and 50 ratio is acceptable. If one bats lower then less.
In tests , for a specialist batsmen then a 1:2 rate.

That is amazing, I think an acceptable conversion rate would be 2 fifties to a century in test cricket In ODI's it should be about 3-4 fifties to a century in ODI cricket since the time period is shorter

Amazing...Kamran Akmal in tests has four 100's and two 50's while in ODI's three 100's and no 50's so thats 7 hundreds and 3 fifties in international cricket so hs conversion rate would be probably 66.66% or 7:3.

Talk about great conversion rates from 100's to 200's,Matthew Sinclair has scored 3 centuries thus far in his test career,two of his 3 centuries where double on debut made 200 odd against the West Indies then the following summer made an unbeaten 204 against Pakistan so hes conversion rate fom 100's to 200's is 66.66%.Hes 2 test tons came within 12 tests.

True Shoaib, sehwag has a good conversion rate from 50's to 100's, but neither of them come consistently enough... Matt Hayden seems to have slipped everyone's mind. He has 26 100's to 25 50's. And they do come regulalary |

5-0 You Beauty!!!!!
Thanks for the many fantastic memories Marto, Langer, Warney & Pidg |

Conversion rates dont tell the full picture. Look at Vaughan he is so hit and miss these days, same as Sehwag.

I was reading about Fleming this morning - gone past 50 fifty times but
only converted them into centuries nine times, a pretty poor return

Vaughan doesn't hit 100s against Australia, only 50s and 150s.

Isn't Vaughan's conversion rate against Australia 4-0 after his century at Old Trafford last year?
