Mystery role seems to be the point

You are right. I agree there isn't anything new to talk about apart from the deafening correlation between Sana, Dilshan, Aravinda and SL's match results TO found out. I hadn't studied those stats before.

It's ridiculous putting Dilshan below sanga when everything suggests he is above Santa.

I said 25 better batsmen than Sanga

^^ so bada was not paying attention to this discussion when we had this for last million times? I mean how many time we went through stats in win/loss, K/O's, WC's and stuff. We even had sMe stats posted excluding Bangladesh/Zim(which doesn't help Dilshan) here. May be on old forum. No wonder you are still in wrong opinion according to me.

Is this all pre-2011/12?

An example if this is about the complete career - I don't think Clarke ever played the kind of knocks Sanga did in the last 2-3 years. He batted at 4 or below though. He wasn't really a force in ODI cricket.

40 batsmen here from the top of my head. Feel free to edit the list. I and sure we will end up with at least 30

If you're a good ODI bat, there are 2 things that I consider are really important.
1. You need to have done well in important matches; i.e. pressure games such as tournament K.O. matches.
2. How important your contributions to the team.
   - Does the team do well when you do well?
   - Does the team do bad when you do bad?


So here are stats for Sanath, Ara, Arju, Mahela, Sanga, Arnold, and Mathews in Overall, Overall Wins, Overall Losses, K-O, K-O Wins, K-O Losses, Finals, Final Wins, Final Losses.


Overall Wins



Overall Losses



K-O Matches



K-O Wins



K-O Losses



Finals



Final Wins



Final Losses

That's a very one-sided way to look at things tho. Punishes the consistent players and rewards the inconsistent. But a top effort nonetheless.

Also the only tourneys that really matter are the ICC tourneys. Some random Pepsi or Cola cup no one really cares about a few days afterwards.

We have to get rid of all bilateral series too then

I'm sure the players are very eager to win these tri-series finals when they play, although they are not as memorable as WC knockouts. I see guys being rested for bilateral series. Not sure about these finals.
