RE: SHIV

He is a great test batsman---maybe he'll be admitted into the ESC in his next life. ;D

[size=1.45em]Dravid averaged 97.90 against Zimbabwe

Dravid averaged 38.68 against Australia

Any basis used consistently can probably give consistent and comparable results.
However if one uses the definition of Consistency as say, Reliability or uniformity of successive results or events, then you then have to consider reliability and uniformity.
Then in my example the first person scoring 47 in each innings is consistent by definition and the other who scores big occasionally is not.
I do not see you have to score a 50 to be classed as consistent.

[size=1.45em]Tendulkar averaged 136.67 against Bangladesh

Tendulkar averaged 42.28 against Pakistan
[/size]

[size=1.35em]But Tendulkar averaged 53.21 in Australia with six (6) centuries.

That is more than enough to earn the respect of the Australians.

RE: YOUR EXAMPLE

* A batsman scores 47 in each of 10 innings----that's an average of 47; a consistency of 0% and a conversion rate of 0%

* A batsman scores 470 in 10 innings with 5 hundreds and 5 ducks---that's an average of 47; a consistency of 50% and a conversion rate of 100%

Who is the more productive batsman ?

Clearly batsman #2---whenever he scores he scores big---whenever he fails his teammates can pick him up---cricket is after all a team sport.

A batsman with a 47 average, a 50% consistency and a 100% conversion rate will always be superior to a batsman with a 47 average only.

Well outlined !  8)

By your definition then yes but by the pure definition of consistency then I do not agree.
You have set 50 at the bottom threshold and my question is why?
You might say who monitors 47s and the answer would be, at the moment, practically no one.
However whatever basis of measure that is universally agreed would be the measure.
This measure of consistency is your measure and forms a nice platform for discussion.
