Dukes- there is something about Morgan

 
sudden 2019-06-18 13:07:53 

that is how Hety should be batting. Not clearing his front leg and swinging at everything. he is too good a batsman to be emulating Marlon Samuels.

Let me see, one (Morgan) is 10 years older, has 12 hundreds in 13 years, at an average of 39. The other (Hetmyer), has 4 hundreds in 2 years, at an average of 40. Think the comparison is valid?

Help him wiggle himself out now...you think you're clever. So, go ahead.

 
Courtesy 2019-06-18 13:30:03 

It simply means: It's the best thing Hety should be doing while batting - taking a page out of Morgan's batting book today. The two batsmen under discussion have contrasting styles.

Btw, Sudden needs absolutely no help from me in arguing this is not a comparison. I wonder though whether Sudden will take on a jackass.

I'll have you for lunch, dinner and breakfast arguing the nuances of the thread, except I don't fancy bobolees.

Let's do it slowly, for your benefit, of course. Why should Hetty "emulate" Morgan? Is there some defect in Hetty's batting; is there something superior about Morgan's batting? Slowly.

 
Courtesy 2019-06-18 13:34:10 

Answer: Because at the moment Hety's batting does not compare with Morgan.

Man go and forking sleep. You jackass.

In reply to Sangfroid

if anything i am saying he should not be batting like Samuels- clearing his front leg and swinging. if anything that is the comparison. Morgan played proper cricket shots which i believe Hety have in his repertoire or that he can develop.

Morgan has been consistent with this approach. why not emulate Morgan?

Good, unlike Nincompoop-see you're man enough to admit that an improvement relative to a thing/person necessarily flows from a comparison...

...why not emulate Morgan?


That's a different question, one I did not address, or seek to address. But just to remind you:

Let me see, one (Morgan) is 10 years older, has 12 hundreds in 13 years, at an average of 39. The other (Hetmyer), has 4 hundreds in 2 years, at an average of 40. Think the comparison is valid?

In reply to Sangfroid

There are 2 things/people involved.

Observably, one bats a certain way and the other doesn't.

In order for one to do like the other, there is to be a compare and contrast.

Simple. There are no two ways about it. You win. And to bring Marlon into this is shameful.

you see some unknown person said i should not have mentioned Samuels.

i saw JHO clearing his front leg yesterday too and i said that he would soon scoop one or swing one in the air.

clearing the front leg works sometimes but it is not a long term batting strategy. why not use your feet and get to the ball?

Yep. It's called the neutral position. The problem with this is, smart bowlers would ball wide and full outside off to negate this strategy but is is a useful position to adopt when trying to score quickly.

The comparison is implied, star. That fact is inescapable. If a professor wants to identify the reason/s for, say, the disparate academic performances of two students, a comparison must be had in the first instance - that is to say he must measure and analyse. Once his initial evaluation is done, he is in a position to suggest methods/"solutions" to improve the performance of the weaker student, ceteris paribus. Therefore this has nothing to do with human nature, or cognitive bias. The conclusion I have drawn is sound, based on solid reasoning.

The two batters are strikingly different, so Hety must take a page from Morgan's batting book today.

Not sure how you cannot connect the dots. The answer to this question will, well, hopefully, answer your question: How did Morgan arrive at the point he is at now? To remind you, Morgan is 32, Hetty is 22. Morgan's ODI average is basically the same as Hetty. Morgan has played longer and in more matches than Hetty.

1. Would you also concede that the how is a function of years of experience, among other things?

2. Not sure how you define, "proper cricket shots". Am I to take it that clearing the front leg is not a "proper cricket shot"?

3. I thought you already conceded that to "emulate" flows from a comparison in the first instance...

if you want to speak to his overall batting average that is another matter. you seem to like to conflate issues. this is not an issue to conflate it is rather restrictive to how Morgan batted this innings- no more no less.

Dukes 2019-06-18 18:08:13 

In reply to sudden

Dukes- there is something about Morgan
that is how Hety should be batting.


I think that the above statement was made without much aforethought.

We are currently in the midst of a 50 over One Day International World Cup and thus one's batting approach has to be flexible depending on the particular circumstance one finds oneself.as a general rule of thumb, every batsman should follow his own style of batting, particularly when one is hugely talented.
It seems to me that Hetmyer is vastly more talented than Morgan so the notion that the former should bat like the latter can only be said in a metaphorical sense, i.e you feel that Hetty should be more prudent in his shot selection.
I agree with that general sentiment but caution that it is the supreme confidence, bat speed and reflexes and singular mindset that allows differently talented players like Hetty to even attempt some of the shots they play.
You repeatedly ignore the fact that while lesser mortals who have scoring rates in excess of 100,they invariably average less than 30 and usually less than 25.an average of nearly 30 can be acquired due to numerous not outs when batting at # 7 or lower. Only the rare talents average anywhere near 40 with a scoring rate in excess of 100.This statistic seems to escape your comprehension despite me mentioning it repeatedly so I think you are being deliberately obtuse.

I counsel you to remain patient with young Hetmyer and accept the ride.I acknowledge that there will be ups and downs but in 13 years time we all would say WHAT A GREAT CAREER.

Lemme say this,3 young men from Guyana reached 1000 ODI runs at age 22 and two of them now retired had successful test and ODI careers.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Ronnie Sarwan, two guys I championed BEFORE they made their test debuts in 1994 and 2000 respectively turned out to have stellar careers. I can assure you that my confidence in my judgement in the 3rd case will prove to be just as prescient as in those cases.

I leave TIME to prove me correct.

SELAH

 
carl0002 2019-06-18 19:27:09 

The problem is if Hety keep playing the way he does and wait until later in his career to construct an innings he will be lucky to make it to 32 playing any kind of cricket. If this is the way he insists on playing he better learn to bowl cuz not even 20/20 cricket can suffer a hit and miss vooper for long unless he is a bowling all rounder.

 
sudden 2019-06-18 19:33:15 

In reply to Dukes

you can always be counted on to speak eloquently to non issues. no one asked Hety to forgo his own batting style to copy Morgan's on the whole but merely to emulate yes emulate the cricket shots he played. did you note that Morgan seldom cleared his front leg and swung like Hety does frequently?

i posit that should Hety bat properly as he can he would be more effective consistently. as it is he seems to want to be a shot gun and sides have no problem in giving him a 50 with a few self satisfying 6s. if you are so pleased then so be it. but the lad can be so much more.

when i first started out in my trade we watched a lot of film of the stars of my trade. how they structured an argument and delivered. we saw them in person and we were encouraged to copy a style and work on it until we had our own style. cricket is not much different.

you keep harping about his runs now, his average now. that is the now man. if he continues on this swiping path i daresay that can change. is that what you want the lad to come to?

my referencing Morgan was only to show what can be achieved by batting normally and not this silly style of clearing the front foot and swinging to kingdom come. if he doesnt like Morgan's way or his average you have Kohli and other players who make runs, make runs consistently and dont swipe.

I saw an interesting statistical analysis which suggested that for ODI batsman a good measure of effectiveness for a batsman is to multiply their average by their scoring rate and if you get over 4000 you are successful.
Clearly this can only be applied to this current era of very high scores.I suppose back in the 80's it would be 3,000.

Just trying to get you to be more objective in your analysis of ODI cricket which seem totally based on aesthetics and not on results.

Following your logic Rowe is a better batsman than Viv.

this doesnt sound like the Dukes i know. like Poonka you are- all over the place. you seem to be in fugue state, my friend. i hope this re-post gets you back on track-

you can always be counted on to speak eloquently to non issues. no one asked Hety to forgo his own batting style to copy Morgan's on the whole but merely to emulate yes emulate the cricket shots he played. did you note that Morgan seldom cleared his front leg and swung like Hety does frequently?

i posit that should Hety bat properly as he can he would be more effective consistently. as it is he seems to want to be a shot gun and sides have no problem in giving him a 50 with a few self satisfying 6s. if you are so pleased then so be it. but the lad can be so much more.

when i first started out in my trade we watched a lot of film of the stars of my trade. how they structured an argument and delivered. we saw them in person and we were encouraged to copy a style and work on it until we had our own style. cricket is not much different.

you keep harping about his runs now, his average now. that is the now man. if he continues on this swiping path i daresay that can change. is that what you want the lad to come to?

my referencing Morgan was only to show what can be achieved by batting normally and not this silly style of clearing the front foot and swinging to kingdom come. if he doesnt like Morgan's way or his average you have Kohli and other players who make runs, make runs consistently and dont swipe.

5 million West Indians follow WI cricket, really? Also, might I remind you; the people did prefer Barabbas when presented with a choice. They call this kind of logical fallacy, argumentum ad populum.

Hety bats the same way without regard to circumstance.


Can you prove it? As a sample, roughly 57% of his hundred against Bang at Providence did not comprise 4s and 6s. WI went on to win that game. Also of note, 75% of his hundreds result in WI wins.

The three outs in the India test series bears testimony to this. Even in test matches where he has the time to build an innings.


In that series, Hetty was not reading Kuldeep, hence his approach. Things quickly changed in the ODIs, where Kuldeep was taken to the cleaners.

In trying to come up with intellectual ways to diminish Hetty's ODI record you are talking about Median and Mean and skewing, none of which has any remote value to cricket. In fact it is 180 degrees away from importance because if a man makes 40 in 5 consecutive ODI matches as opposed to a guy who makes two 80's and a 40 followed by 2 ducks,it is more likely that the latter would have won 2 matches for his team while the former would have won none.

No statistician uses mean (average) as proof of consistency. And you compounded it by saying "it has no place in cricket".

THAT IS PATENTLY FALSE

I am not interested in consistency but in EFFECTIVENESS. The reason you have 6 batsmen in a team is that if two fire with centuries, then you are likely to win. We are trying to win matches because in ODI cricket there are no draws. Scoring rate is equally important and in some cases even more important than average, particularly in these days of very high scores in ODI cricket

I did what Dukes didn't do, I looked at Hetty's mean and median scores over the time period suggested - 2018 to 2019. If we were to eliminate the not-outs, his mean score is 37.5; the median is 21. The spread, 16.5. Now, these results are meaningless if there is no yardstick by which we can measure "consistency". Perhaps you can suggest what that is...What's Morgan's mean-median spread?

Also, Hetty's distribution is not unlike most batsmen - positively skewed; that is, the mean is greater than the median. Nothing to report here. For perspective, Lara had a mean-median spread at the end of his career of 18.02 in tests. Bradman's was a whopping 30.95. Would you people dare make an issue about their apparent lack of "consistency"? rolleyes

Now, let this soak in:

Hetymer attacks more than the average player because he’s better at it than the average player. In all formats Hetmyer scores significantly faster than the global average when he plays an attacking shot. The only two batsman to score faster than Hetmyer with attacking shots are the prodigiously talented Aiden Markram (188.64) and the godfather of attacking batting Virender Sehwag (176.62).

Hetmyer attacks a significantly greater proportion of his deliveries than the average player in Test, ODI and T20 cricket.


“I would rather have a guy who can play the shots and teach him the defence than a guy who doesn’t have any shots” – Viv Richards, 2015


As Hetmyer’s career has progressed some of his traditional numbers have begun to reflect his obvious ability. His ODI strike rate, for example, of 106.91 is exceptional and his T20 strike rate of 142.42 is also very good, especially considering he has played on some tough pitches in the Caribbean. However, it is detailed analytics – numbers that look beyond the scorecard, that break down his game into its component parts – that really show Hetmyer to be a player of astonishing potential.

Sangfroid 2019-06-19 17:55:29 

Hetmyer’s power with attacking shots doesn’t compromise his consistency with them. His attacking shots per dismissal is better than the global average in all formats.


Naturally this means his average runs per dismissal with attacking shots is significantly higher than the global average. Hetmyer is an attacking sensation.

 
Sangfroid 2019-06-19 17:56:10 

Hetmyer’s astonishing attacking strength enables him to score off good balls as well as bad balls. His effectiveness at doing this is conveyed by CricViz’s Expected Runs Model which calculates the runs we would expect to be scored off a delivery based on its ball tracking components. Comparing the aggregated expected runs total with a player’s actual runs total is an advanced form of analysis which evaluates players in great detail, not merely looking at what they’ve done but by placing it in context of the balls they have faced.

By this measure, since Hetmyer’s Test and ODI debuts he has scored 249 more runs than expected in Test cricket and 118 runs more than expected in ODI cricket – this ranks him sixth in the world in both formats and mixing with some of the world’s very best players.

 
Sangfroid 2019-06-19 17:57:17 

Hetmyer’s aggressive approach makes him ideally suited to limited-overs formats – especially T20 where since his debut he is the tenth-best batsman in the world according to CricViz Match Impact – but his consistency when attacking means his approach could well be sustainable in Test cricket too.


Traditionally the foundation of Test batting is said to be a solid defence, but as attacking batting – elevated and heightened by the T20 age – becomes more powerful and more reliable, Test cricket may find more players come at it from the other direction. Sehwag and David Warner were two early iconoclasts of the traditional approach and now with the likes of Hetmyer and also the similarly freakish Rishabh Pant bringing their aggressive methods to Test cricket we might be on the cusp of a coterie of players who turn Test batting on its head.

to Shimron Hetmeyer-

i apologise for attempting to tell you to bat properly. that you have the skills and cricket shots to be more effective consistently. i was wrong to so suggest. continue to clear your front leg and swing like Marlon Samuels. but dont forget that-

Across a substantial career a batting average is an effective measure of a batsman in Test cricket. But across a handful of matches – although it remains illustrative of quality – we can be less sure of its results. Shimron Hetmyer has a Test batting average of 29.70 (and a first-class average of 33.87) but to anyone who has watched him bat he is a clearly a very special talent with the potential to average significantly more by the end of his career.

Tells the story.

40 average is effective but does not speak to the consistency.

The following example should be clear to all and sundry.

Consider a batsman battings 4 innings:

Scenario 1. 150, 7, 3, 0. = ave = 40

Scenario 2. 38,41,42.39 = ave = 40

That's why we need the various methodologies to allow us to see the wood from the trees. In scenario 1 there is the data is highly skewed and indicates a lack of consistency.

The batsman in scenario 2 has probably not won any games for his team.

Who is more valuable to his team?

If you are comfortable living in a world of speculation - by all means.

Conversely, he may have lost 3 games...but I avoid speculation at all costs.

my apology to Shimron Hetmeyer-

i apologise for attempting to tell you to bat properly. that you have the skills and cricket shots to be more effective consistently. i was wrong to so suggest. continue to clear your front leg and swing like Marlon Samuels. but dont forget that-

Across a substantial career a batting average is an effective measure of a batsman in Test cricket. But across a handful of matches – although it remains illustrative of quality – we can be less sure of its results. Shimron Hetmyer has a Test batting average of 29.70 (and a first-class average of 33.87) but to anyone who has watched him bat he is a clearly a very special talent with the potential to average significantly more by the end of his career.

Taking a look at this from a slightly different angle/perspective, it is reasonable to hypothesize (based on historical analysis & statistics) that by the time Hety gets to Morgan's age and the number of games Morgan has currently played, Hety would've been tremendously BETTER than Morgan currently is in his own right.

After 28 ODI innings (with both starting their careers around the same age --19 & 20 yo):

Morgan:

5, 50's
1, 100

and an average of 34.25 (800+ total runs)

Hety:

3, 50's
4, 100's

and an average of 40.64 (1,000+ total runs)


Suffice to say... Hety, after 28 ODI innings was and currently IS BETTER than Captain Morgan......

I find it curious that in the midst of the most important ODI matches i.e The World Cup you seek to inject Test average.To compound matters, you mistakenly(here I am being generous)post that Hetty's test average is 29.70 instead of 30.16.I rather suspect that the reluctance to actually post the 40.64 ODI average caused this rather odd deviation but nevertheless the presumably paltry average of 29.70 is still better than the abysmal 28.06 currently being posted by the current pride and joy of Bim who us mudbrains dare not criticize and who has been playing a tad longer in both first class and test cricket than the swiper/canecutter/clearer of his front leg/duncie young whippersnapper.As I observed in one of my early posts,FACTS CAN BE A STUBBORN MOFO.

BTW Spuds thinks that Hetty can not bat and should watch tapes of Don Pagon to learn how to bat.

He sends his regards and is enjoying how you are schooling me on the intricacies of batting.
