Thanks to Paul's comment from my previous post, I have decided to compare runs per wickets for some of the bowlers to those in real life.
I will compare three bowlers for each team. I am not expecting too much to line up with real life due to how Cricket World deals with bowlers. It is entirely up to the player how much time each bowler gets, and they are not credited with overs; just runs and wickets. I have tried to keep those who bowled most of the innings in more than usual, but let's see what the stats say.
Victoria:
RW McLeod 27 wickets for 673 runs in my game; 22 wickets for 448 runs in real life
H Trumble 11 wickets for 454 runs in game; 22 for 298 IRL
FJ Laver 9 wickets for 176 runs; 2 for 84 IRL.
New South Wales:
M Pierce 26 wickets and 646 runs; 25 wickets for 622 runs - that one is very close!
CTB Turner 13 wickets for 350; 12 for 230
A Coningham 10 for 337; 11 for 245 IRL.
South Australia:
E Jones got 17 wickets for 556 runs; 15 for 425 in the real world
G Giffen took 15 for 657; 33 for 759
A Jarvis 12 for 440; 3 for 266
Well, that was interesting! M Pierce was very close to his real life totals, while others...not so much. At the end of the day though, this is a replay. So while it is nice to have stats and results close at times, I am all about the "What If" aspect of replay gaming.
Thanks for taking the time. As you say, they don't look too bad at all. The only one that is a long way out is Giffen's for SA. It seems that they are more evenly shared around in the game.
ReplyDeleteThe "they" I mean is wickets of course.
