About to select the MVP for our cricket team...thoughts?
Player #1 - 347 runs, 21 wickets, 5 catches
Player #2 - 437 runs, 10 catches
Player #3 - 200 runs, 24 wickets, 6 catches
Aside from the stats can you point to any of the performances being match winning/saving?
i.e. was player 3's 5 wicket haul match winning? Did player 2 save the match with a disciplined 2nd innings 50 in testing conditions?
I think it sometimes needs more than just the numbers - context can be useful.
Based on the numbers though, looks like a close race.
Went with player #1 - wickets were generally important ones, and picked up 22 in the end and all while being the 5th or 6th choice bowler, often doing a partnership breaking job.
Runs from #2 won us a few games that looked shaky for a while but ultimately I worked out that a wicket is worth about 17 runs so #1 wins.
