More ways of calculating batting averages

Loyal readers of Cricket Burble will remember John Wright's post about alternative ways of working out averages, many months ago: "A Mean Average". And of course you'll also know about Cricket Burble's attempts to reduce the role of luck with "real" averages. This post on a Cricinfo blog also talks about alternatives, the suggesting being to create an "EBA" or Extended Batting Average. It's equally - or perhaps even more - flawed but interesting nonetheless.

This seems ridiculous. It is far to complicated, and you end up with very similar figures. Sorry, don't see the point. The current system has existed for so long for a very good reason. It is the best one
