Rankings Through History

Our batting, bowling and allrounder rankings system has changed a lot through time, so I thought it'd be interesting to go and see what the rankings would've looked like under the current system after each season.

 

Season 1

After season 1, the leading batsman was %CJ Sheehan and the leading bowler was %AD Funkotron. The leading allrounder was specialist batsman %DW Lewis, who also sat in 13th in the bowling rankings.

Oh, and I should point out that for various reasons, currently uncontracted players won't feature on any of the lists. Maybe I should fix that.

 

Nah fuck it.

 

Season 3

%BJ Gemmell held onto the top batting spot after Season 3, although the ridiculousness of his standardised average had faded. %DG Speirs's Origin performances got him to #2. %SB Wilson charged to #1 in bowling in his first full season while a perhaps unlikely man - %J Ono - was #2. Ono was also comfortably #1 allrounder.

Season 5

Season 5 saw the entry of the Ravens and Pumas, and %XX Meister managed to crack the top five batting rankings in his very first season for one of the new clubs (he now plays for the other). %SA Flack's presidency also saw him propel to #2 in the batting rankings but Gemmell held firm as CricSim's best batsman. %JT Whicker managed to squeeze past Wilson and grab the #1 bowling ranking, while my increased bowling role at my new club saw me leading the allrounder rankings for the first time.

Season 6

Season 6 was a looong season and it allowed for plenty of changes to the rankings. Gemmell was finally knocked off his batting perch and finished the season at #4 in the rankings behind %SA Flack, %RST Downpipes and %D Davis, but %SB Wilson claimed his #1 bowling spot back and %TG Bullpitt settled into second. %DG Speirs took over at the top of the allrounders tree while I reverted back behind him.

When I started up the Ravens, basically. Wasn't that good at the Clones.

 

Kovas was a seriously good player.
