Hi I was just wandering what do you guys think is an acceptable conversation rate of 50's to 100's and which batsmen is the best t converting. For me if a batsmen gets a century 1 once out of thre scores over 50 that is acceptable. The best converting batsmen are Ponting and Strauss ------------- The First Century I ever saw was Heschelle Gibbs' 228 against Pakistan |

Yep, good points - Ponting has 31 centuries to 34 half centuries, Vaughan has 15 to 14, which is better than 1:1, Strauss has 8 to 5, which is an incredible start to his career. Some others, for comparison: Hussey 4-4, Dravid 22-42, Kallis 24-39, Tendulkar 35-41 ------------- |

Isn't Vaughan's conversion rate against Australia 4-0 after his century at Old Trafford last year? ------------- County Sim on extended break until I've got less work and more free time. When I have a specific date, I'll post it in the thread. |

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

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

Conversion rates dont tell the full picture. Look at Vaughan he is so hit and miss these days, same as Sehwag. ------------- Don't Believe the Hype |

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 |

| 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. |

i actually thought hayden was still quite consistent in the ashes, except that it was consistenly bad until the last match! ------------- boo ha ha! |

| In 47 tests Sehwag has played his scored 12 test fifties and 12 test hundreds 8 of his 12 hundreds have been scores of 150+ which is a great conversion rate and has 1 triple century and 2 double centuries also 195 agaisn't australia in melbourne. |

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. ------------- Check out my blog http://crictopia.blogspot.com/ pretty bad though... |

| 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 |

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. ------------- |

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

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. ------------- |

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.

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. |

| 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. |
