It is a constant debate in cricket – who is the best batsman of all time/1990s/2000s etc? Similarly for bowlers as well. Given the question and the interest it generates, how do we measure performance> The standard measure is averages which experts believe is unfair as people sho stay not out tend to have higher averages. This measure is unfair especially to openers who face the most hostile bowling conditions and have much greater possibilities of getting out. For an economics student, similarity to discussions on GDP is too obvious.
Anantha Narayana looks at the measures and suggests runs per test is a pretty useful indicator as well.
