Players Selection Equation
by Xavier on Apr 03, 2007 06:34 PM   Permalink

Guys, I thought of something that would put an end to all the disputes. Regional/Money %u2026everything.

First let%u2019s remove the selector%u2019s board. There shall be no more regional allocations. Not even 0.0001%

Let%u2019s stop blaming the coach or the captain or anybody else in the team. Let%u2019s stop blaming the players for their interest in Ads, that%u2019s none of our business. If he wants that extra money let him earn it.

But if he want%u2019s to be in the team, let him earn it as well. He must have an eligibility to qualify inside the team. Like Duckworth-Lewis rule, which decides a match after rain, let%u2019s put an equation, which recommends a player for the team. Based on performance & consistency.

Simple rules, that would keep the players on their heals & make them really run for their money.

What I have suggested below is just a start, everyone is welcome to make it better.
For any player he can accumulate/lose points on 2 different basis.
a)      regular points
b)      pressure points

For Batsman on a given ODI if he scores [regular points]

RUNS 50 100      0-10 10-20 20-30 30-49 60 %u2013 99
POINTS       10 20 -20 -10 5 7 15

This is because a player must score at least above 20 on any given match irrespective of pitch/climate/conditions/opponents.

If he scores the above runs in strike rates [pressure points]

Strike rate 100 80-99 60-70 50-60       5-6 4-5 3-4 0-3
Points -5 -4 0 2 10

Good economy means good line & length. Let them use their heads on how to contain the batsmen.
                    ;                    &nbs p;        

Extras except byes, leg byes (bowlers can%u2019t be blamed for these extras) [Pressure points]

Extras            >5
Points    ;         -3

And reduction in one point for every 3 subsequent extras.

Fielding

Dropped catch                         -5
Direct Hit at stumps for run out        5
Over throws                     ;    -2

Add whatever u can think off%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026.

Wicketkeeper

Missed stumping             -5
Missed ball from fielding      -3

Add whatever u can think off%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026.

Let all the players be evaluated based on their point system.
And very importantly A PLAYER MUST BE EVALUATED ON POINTS IN THE LAST 10 MATCHES ONLY (to keep consistency & keep away records. To avoid players hitting a century and staying in the team for years).
And let this points system be followed for every match.
The reason for having regular & pressure points is to bring the conscious of the situation on the kind of matches they play. For example a semi is more crucial than league, any decider match is very crucial. So on these occasions the pressure points can be doubled or tripled. Players get the tendency to play better and careful on deciders.
Our players work better as individuals rather than as a team %u2013 a general view. Well%u2026..Let it be%u2026 Let us make them do best what they are good at.
