Cricket statistics

Stop. We do not update statistics during a match - wait for the stats sites to update. This usually happens 30 minutes or so after a match ends. You are increasing the risk of errors being introduced by conducing original research. Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:34, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry which bit of this don't you understand? Do you need me to be more direct about this? WP:OR is NOT ALLOWED. Stop doing it. Blue Square Thing (talk) 11:37, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah Now can u help me with understanding the risks associated with it. I suppose the matches, Runs and wickets don't come under those risks. Mr.High.duh (talk) 13:06, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Imagine this:

Anne comes along after the first session and does the maths herself, adding up 84 runs and 3 wickets, calculating the new averages etc...
Bob does the same after the second session, adding the 124 runs and five wickets now taken - to the totals that Anne already calculated. So, we're now out out 84 runs and 3 wickers (and they both calculated the averages, say)
Clive does the same after the third session
Dawn does the same after Day 2

And now we're out by how many? Who knows? And maybe no one spots it at all and the same thing happens during the next match. But, of course, the first-class stats never got updated, so it'll end up (in the worst case where someone like me doesn't wade in and deal with the issue) with Test wickets being greater than first-class wickets.

Just be patient. The prose paragraph is absolutely fine (although it could use a reference). That's appropriate. But leave the stats until the match is done and the stats update on CricInfo please. Blue Square Thing (talk) 13:41, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yet the data and statistics at the sources or in the best scenario is from ESPN CRICINFO. I don't think above examples apply to them. Mr.High.duh (talk) 19:44, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Want to over this or should we continue. Mr.High.duh (talk) 19:46, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. If we use the stats from CricInfo we're OK. Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:56, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Could you try to update the first-class stats at the same time. I'll let you go back to them all. Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:41, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would see to that. Mr.High.duh (talk) 09:51, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
