The possibility of Misbah-ul-Haq ending his Test career with an average of 50?

[Major]

After being not out twice and getting another 99, his avg is sure to be racked up.

I think it has reached 47. With three innings to go for Pakistan, how many runs does he need to cross the 50th mark?

 

[Slog]

This is the number of runs he needs according to different situations

~140 runs if he doesnt get out in any of the remaining 3 innings
~240 runs even if he gets out once in remaining 3 innings
~340 runs if he gets out twice in remaining 3 innings

(I've rounded up to the nearest 10)

so 440 if gets out thrice in 3 innings?

Surely the differnce per wicket in the above should be 50?!

 

[Hawkeye]

No, he won't.

no. basic math man

currently its around 47 after 129 innings so he will need more than just 50 to get it there

 

[Slog]

so 440 if gets out thrice in 3 innings?

thats not happening so i didnt calculate but im guessing thats the pattern

the point is that the only chance is if he remains not out in remaining three innings

 

[Stallion__]

I didn't happen in Mahela's and Clarke's case when the equations were easier. Anyways this is what he requires

1) If he doesn't get out in next three innings, he needs to score 289 runs

2) If he gets out once in next three innings, he needs to score 339 runs

3) If he gets out twice in next three innings, he needs to score 389 runs

4) If he gets out thrice in next three innings, he needs to score 439 runs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Assuming he gets out only once in rest of the series he will need 339.


Not going to happen dudes.

Your numbers havent taken into account the first innings (99) of this test i think

They have been taken into account.

[MENTION=138463]Slog[/MENTION] your calculations are wrong

Batting Average = Runs scored / Number of Dismissals

Misbah have 5161 runs after 129 innings and 20 not outs,

so current batting average = 5161 / (129-20) = 47.34

So to get 50 average in the next 3 innings without getting out;

50 = x / (132-23)

x = 5450

5450 - 5161 = 289

he needs to score 289 runs in 3 innings without getting out to get to the batting average of 50.

If he gets out even once, the chance is pretty much over because he'll have to score a total of 339 in 3 innings, unless he scores a big hundred.

So if he gets out once he'll have to score a total of 5500 runs to get to 50 average, if he gets out twice he'll have to score 5550, and if he gets out thrice he'll have to score 5600 to get there.

Yes you are correct

my apologies

 

[Slog]

^ well this seems impossible then

 

[Abdullah]

no. basic math man

currently its around 47 after 129 innings so he will need more than just 50 to get it there

LOL no.
You said 140 if he doesn't get out again.
So if he does get out once he should only need 190
Make sense?

thank you


and thank you [MENTION=138463]Slog[/MENTION] for your effort aswell

it seems it might be impossible

 

[Abdullah]

^it should go up in 50s fore each dismissal

Will be nice if the icon does it, but he will be remembered far beyond what numbers and stats he has put on in his career, even though they are very fine in their own regard.
