So basically mr faux americana watched the last series of Race Across The World and wants to recreate the magic of the India/Nepal kino leg

>>150399909
Only ever seen a couple of episodes of that (in Brazil, iirc) but keep meaning to watch it because it sounds like exactly the sort of thing I'd enjoy
Might watch that India/Nepal one now you've mentioned it, thanks

Bored shitless already
Had lined up some freelance toil but the little shithouse of a client pulled out at the last minute so I'm left with nowt to do now, would rather just be at work
Wonder if I should just go and watch Weapons (2025) or something

there is literally nothing to watch on the web

Hi all im looking for recommendations for places to try stake
Im autistic and one of my autistic traits is being a very picky eater
Just sticking to plain vanilla foods
But i would like to try steak but theres so many ways to have it i wouldnt know where to start
Thank you in advance

people are allowed to like steak

might go watch weapons (2025)


>>150404031
neeks love work
especially part time neek freelance

why do you need to go to a restaurant to have steak? they're like 'oooh this place.. it's amazing! you've never had steak with it! the sauce, the mash and veg wooooow'. hate that this donedon trend became a global thing when it's quite possibly the easiest ''''''dish''''' to make at home and honestly quite hard to get wrong

>>150404062
If you got paid $70p/h for your part time freelance toil you'd probably quite like it too

truthbomb: steak is only acceptable as part of a breakfast at a Tarq cafe

anyone seen the pavement movie yet?

I suppose if you are frightened of other people and have few friends and no interests beyond watching the chase and have no ambition or career goals, it must seem bizarre that so many people chose to live in large cities instead of staying in a provincial town.
For me, it was the quality of women compared with what was on offer in towns like Didcot, Chorley or Yeovil.

Looking forward to Synecdoche New York 2 (2028)

the 'big boys'

business idea: launch 'T201' so several people mistake it as a T20I and have to sit through 201 overs instead, thus getting zoomers trained to watch test (real) cricket

Synecdoche New York is a good film

thought I read 'I'm Thinking of Ending Things' was meant to be the (unofficial) sequel
didn't watch it anyway because SNY is a few hours of pretentious wankery isn't it

if anyone at work says you should watch something that means it should be avoided at all costs
wagies are giga brainlets

I'm a wagie though mate

it's a sweeping generalisation
obviously I don't mean all wagies are brainlets

The ‘binge watch’ and its consequences have been a disaster for entertainment. Material which should have been a 90 minute film gets stretched out over several hours, well beyond the creative limits of the writers.
A similar phenomenon can be seen in the three volume novel in 19th century England, or the expanding lengths of rock and pop albums in the late 80s and 90s as 79 minute cds replaced vinyl with 20 maximum minutes a side. Commercial and technological factors distorting the strengths of the art form.
And yet cricket continues to shrink into shorter and shorter forms? Riddle me that one

wtf think I might have just seen a rare brainful post on /cric/

prime example of what are you alluding to was that Jeffrey Dahmer shite on Netflix
they stretched that out over 10 hour long episodes or something

that's only because womeme will watch anything to do with true crime because they love to visualise themselves being in such a situation / escaping it. odd creatures

the wicketkeeper batsman meme which I have thoroughly debunked as in all but two cases (flower and gilchrist) producing shit keepers and who are still shit batsmen

there are no good wicket keeper batsmen. even generational talents like sangakarra and de villiers were dogshit players when they were trying to be le new gilchrist but suddenly became some of the best in the world after focussing on batting only. it's much better for a team to have an elite keeper who takes wickets, stops runs and might score a scrappy 20 from time to time like the pre gilchrist keepers than the """modern""" keeper (e.g. w*de) who routinely drops catches, stuffs runouts, lets byes through and might average in the low 30 with the bat. the extra 20 or so runs they may score in a game are entirely offset by the runs they give up as a keeper.

>>150415818
no keeper is giving up 10 runs a game in byes though
so really youre looking at opposing runs gained from a missed chance, e.g. keeper dropped this batsman who went on to score an extra X runs
is there really enough missed chances by keepers to warrant playing a keeper with an average of 35 compared to a 20 average keeper who takes those chances?
I would wager a keeper drops a catch once every 5 games, and so the dropped batsman would need to score 75 extra runs to make the keepers drop impactful to their selection

>>150415899
middle section should be
>is the keeper averaging 35 really missing enough chances to warrant playing the 20 average keeper who takes all chances?

>>150415899
it's a mistake to view it purely in terms of runs too, a good keeper that doesn't let anything through has a psychological effect on a batsman
the point also is that you get better results letting talent batsmen be batsmen and not forcing them to be wicket keepers too. sri lanka wouldn't have been half the side they were without sangakarra as a specialist batsman
>I would wager a keeper drops a catch once every 5 games
definitely more frequent than that, maybe one in every two games

I'll take wade as an example. in his tests as a wicket keeper, he scored 886 runs and conceded 406 byes and leg byes. he was a keeper for 42 innings, so that's 21.1 runs for 9.67 byes and leg byes per innings. I think a per keeper innings is a proper measure here since you're looking at relative output and the fact that he may not bat is a relevant factor if he's being relied on for his batting prowess.
that does not account for edges he's let through or dropped catches and missed stumpings/run-outs.

>>150416896
leg byes dont count as a keeper error
id imagine that reduces his byes count significantly (surely 75% of that 406 is leg byes)
cricket would do well to better quantify non-drop errors such as missed stumpings/runouts because I dont think theres any way we can quantify those for this discussion

>>150416922
they are and they aren't keeper errors, if it just clips the pad that's something a keeper should be stopping.
with wade, over half are byes actually, and removing leg byes brings wade to 5 byes per innings.

>>150416998
I disagree, leg byes are by default a bowler error and any keeper that saves a leg bye should be seen as the keeper achieving above and beyond, rather than seeing a keeper missing a leg bye as being a dereliction of basic duty
sure theres a small percent that legitimately should be stopped, but you dont just count all leg byes because of this

>>150417028
that makes no sense. how is it a bowler's error? it's no different to a bye or an edge that a keeper fails to stop, except that some leg byes by their nature are not going to be capable of being stopped by a keeper.

>>150417051
infinitely more appropriate to be called a bowler error than a keeper error
what percentage of leg byes go even slightly close to the keeper? the vast majority dont

>>150417079
yes I agree lots don't go near the keeper, but the ones that do are the keeper's job to stop

>>150417089
okay so, how are we breaking down the current all encompassing leg bye stat and only attributing appropriate runs to the keeper?
my guess is its not possible, and so we should disregard leg byes as a metric for keepers

>>150417103
already did that lad

>>150417139
okay so going back to wade
roughly 21 runs scored per innings, 4.8 byes conceded an innings
idk where youre finding byes by keepers stats but how does that byes conceded compared to the best outright keeper you can think of?

>>150417200
it's a process of checking the scorecard on every game he was a keeper in lmao
I checked foakes as well (being the modern example of a primary wicketkeeper) who has 3 byes an innings versus 24 runs per innings oddly

>>150417214
oh im sorry autistsan, I shouldn't have doubted your power level
its a shame cricket doesn't have baseball level stats but the way to correctly answer this age old question is to:
>get average byes per innings
>every time a keeper has dropped a catch or missed a runout, then count the extra runs scored by dropped batsman
>calculate an average "mistake impact" figure for each keeper
>multiply mistakes per innings by mistake impact and then add average byes per innings to get TMIPI (total mistake impact per innings)
>take the keepers batting average and minus TMIPI from it, giving us KIPI (Keeper impact per innings)
>rank keepers with higher KIPIs being better

one issue with the per innings kept
measure is that innings aren't uniform
to overcomplicate it further, I've calcualted average byes per over. wade is 0.55, foakes is 0.37. so for 100 overs, you expect wade to cost two extra runs in byes

it probably needs to be broken down by ball in case theres a half over at the end of innings when the final wicket is taken

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNW93j1NWNl/
a legit kek moment

Yes but legs

No one cares about Noncebul any more mate

You'd have to compare the increase in partnership runs from having a batsman-wk vs the runs cost from the increase in missed chances compared to a pure wk

>>150417507
that doesnt make much sense to me, can you elaborate

>>150417511
Say a bk av is 45, might be extra 100+ runs because other batters also make runs with them compared to a pure wk who averages 25 (50 runs in partnership). So a bk is up +50. Now the run cost from drops, missed stumpings and extra byes must be deducted which you'd need a statman with the data to calculate

>>150417548
Also it's easier to train a batter to improve their keeping (Alex Stewart) rather than a keeper to improve their batting

>>150417548
yeah fair point - time at the crease does benefit the rest of your team
>>150417553
I don't necessarily disagree, but I also think that you dont really ever see batting keepers improve their keeping considerably. so can prob be ignored for this hypothetical

You can also carry a pure wk easier if you have a good all rounder. Team balance, moneyball etc. Of course that can then affect the attack, it becomes rather philosophical

>>150417564
And the final thing the stattos and coaches probably use to go in favour of a bk is that they're usually batting #6/7 so they need to be able to counter attack when batting with the tail (especially if the tail is unable to bat) else the opp can just block up an end

>>150417586
wouldn't that all be captured in the partnership runs?
low partnership runs but decent personal average shows the keeper sucks with tailenders

>>150417408
factored in partial overs, all decimal

Just run the stats and tell me englands win percentage when they had Jack Russell keeping and Stewart opening and when they had Stewart batting down the order and keeping. I know you nerds can do it while I’m at toil.
Also England with Foakes vs England with Bairstow keeping or Smith.

I think average shouldn't be used, or at least not outs need to be counted as a dismissal if youre evaluating the incremental benefit a wicketkeeper batsman brings. it doesn't matter that the keeper didn't get out and could have scored more because they didn't,

>>150417633
Russell and Stewart playing 7 wins 13 losses, 16 draws at 0.538 wlr
Stewart as keeper, 28 wins, 34 losses w0 draws at 0.452 wlr
Russell as keeper 12 wins 19 losses 23 draws at 0.3871 wlr

>>150417633
>win percentage
mate we have transcended such basic analysis

>>150417634
hmmm, i definitely understand what youre saying but its hard for me to just discard the extra value said keeperbatsman could've added if their team didn't suck around them
but I also think not outs unfairly warp batting average (have always felt this), and openers have lower averages because of this

Foakes as keeper: 11 wins, 12 losses, 2 draws at 0.4782 wlr
Bairstow as keeper: 23 wins 25 losses 7 draws at 0.4792 wlr

>>150417696
I think that makes sense for a specialist batsman since that's their only role, you don't go in with runs lost as the bowling side that have to be offset imo

I think that makes sense for a specialist batsman since that's their only role, you don't go in with runs lost as the bowling side that have to be offset imo

it's part of the problem with the wicket keeper batsman in tests, they will be batting down the order with the tail and will not be able to score as freely as a specialist batsman, it's an enforced handicap. it's a different story in limited overs where they can just memehit their way victory, which is probably why they seem to perform better there

>>150417678
Now I consider the matter, perhaps ‘England in the 90s’ wasn’t the best data set for this sort of question

>>150417735
do we need to introduce another variable to account for spot in the batting lineup then?
because you could have two equally skilled batting keepers in two different teams batting in different spots because one team has more strong batters to go before the keeper

hmm leaving it to the austists from here I think

fuck it gets complex once you start trying to account for batting position

hello, i despise the working classes, is this the sport for me?

>>150417894
the more you break it down into small subsets the more it is affected by playing good or shit teams or in bad conditions for keeping/batting too

>>150417960
yes

he's just gone deeper and deeper into the reddit void since taking up bouldering. will buy a DS and a fedora next. our comrade has fallen

what exactly happened in zachy's life to change him from the spunky colombian adventurer to an old man who almost never leaves the uk, and spends his annual leave drinking and gaming? is this a side effect of yohimbine?

10 on 1, hardly fair is it

*taps the sign*

Not only does he never leave the UK, he’s timid of his own capital city. Says there’s too many brown people or something. Feels menaced. You wonder if he actually went to South America at all if that’s his attitude

Sad news from my on pitch sesh team, my kindred spirit in tekkers is going to miss the season as he's gone and knocked up his missus. Gutted but there is already blue skies ahead as a new kid on the block is pretty good and we tore it up

I'd bowl a gentle offbreak outside offstump and have bard first ball

>>150441274
How do you think I'd get out to it?
If it's outside off I'd probably just block it first ball desu, or maybe even leave it (although I very rarely leave anything)
Much better strategy would be to throw one down on middle, I'll go for a big sweep, miss, and be trapped LBW

thought you'd go for a big drive against the spin and get bowled through the ol gate desu

>>150441407
Probably not first ball desu, too terrified of getting out for a golden
Always just block it unless it's some shit down leg

Mad how the greatest documentary filmmaker ever is David Attenborough, to the extent you don’t even think of him like that, like he’s in a different genre or something

quite reddit but I don't mind that american one who does the civil war docos

Adam Curtis I don't think you can say is a documentary filmmaker and if he is he isn't a very good one. very little of what puts together is reflective of actual events or history, everything is warped and transformed to produce some fully formed concept he already has in his mind going in. imo he just makes films

everyone else on /cric/ is pro-London (not necessarily to live but as in they agree there's lots to do)

The rumours on Attenborough are not that’s he’s a real wrongun, more that’s he’s a bit hands on with the young ladies, like the late George Bush senior. Might put a hand on your knee in the taxi, but nothing illegal.
David Jason is apparently the one, will come out when he dies
