[Marklar_33]

Never been out

Then you have no average. #DIV/0

 

[ChappyUK]

Merry Christmas all. Hopefully Santa delivered you all musical taste for Xmas

 

[Loonerty]

Is that different to a normal average?

Yep. It's runs scored divided by times dismissed.

For anyone interested:

Christmas day massacre 2019

Drunkgoliath finished the day all out for zero and his bowling figures were 9 overs 0 maidens. 0 for 65

greatmadone was all out for 15 and bowled 10 overs 1 maiden 2 for 58

I made a 6th consecutive century and was again unbeaten for 117. My average now sits above 700. I only bowled the six overs today as that was all that was required and finished the day with six maidens and 11 wickets. Very tidy bowling if i do say

No I didn't.
No he didn't.
No you didn't.

 

[SM]

Yep. It's runs scored divided by times dismissed.

TIL. What a strange way to do it.

 

[Loonerty]

TIL. What a strange way to do it.

It's to account for ends of games where someone might get like 3 runs but then the game ends. They didn't get out, but making their average include that 3 is kinda a misrepresentation.

My Xmas went like this, I had 5 days not 12 though.

5 - Goes at the Buffet
4 - Pints of Beer
3 - Cocktails
2 - Bottles of wine
1 - Bottle of Bourbon (well 1/2)

[SSwans2011]

100% agree.

Harvey Manfrenjensenden just nom Hotel California and be done with it. Though Ula might reject that choice for.... well.... being Hotel California.

 

[Plugger35]

Elliott Smith is a poor man's M Ward.

Bob Dylan is a poor man's M Ward.

Blowing in the Wind, Lay Lady Lay, Tangled Up In Blue

He was alright Dylan I guess.

Still No M Ward though.

I think you need to be condemed to M Ward.

 

[Plugger35]

I nommed this M Ward classic for the lyrics round way back when, got stiffed back then too iirc.




Probably harsh comparing him to Dylan, he was more like Tom Waits with singing and songwriting ability.

"He’s overrated. His songs are forgettable, his voice is grating, his playing is ostentatious. He’s cocky and pretentious and generally unlikable, part of the NPR-ification of indie-rock"
