Once again, the Ferriday-Wilson ranking system is largely dispassionate.
Lots of numbers are punched in - including, for instance,
a precisely calibrated measure of each wicket's worth using historical ICC batting ratings
- and out burp the results..

A particular favourite of mine was Rob Bagchi's beautifully evocative piece on
Sarfraz Nawaz - Pakistan's swing-bowling "dandy" -
which manages to reference Keyser Soze, Omar Sharif and Marlies Gohr ::LOL::
while retelling the story of his match-stealing 9 for 86 at the MCG in 1979..
