This just came up elsewhere, reckon its worth a topic on its own.
How to do it - work out how many runs you scored in 2012 and work out how much you spent on equipment for the 2012 season. Simples...
So I reckon I scored 1052 for the club, 639 for the CS and 128 in two ad hoc appearances for other sides. 1819 in total.
And I spent (discounting the three bats that did not see matches in 2012 because they were picked up with 2013 in mind) 1220.
So 1819:1220 or, as near as damn it, 1.5:1
:eek
-
bat £150, gloves and pads, £120, bag £20 total: close enough to £300.
total runs, in 10 games... about 300...
ratio 1:1.
does this mean I need to spend more on kit to get more runs next year?
-
Nope, I don't think there is any correlation at all - just interested to see how bad some of our kit addictions may be!

Yes...yes it does!!

Bat £106.50, gloves £30, pads £90, bag £60, spikes £25, Helmet £69, other £25 = £405.50
Runs 1012

warning to the bowlers eh Buzz?

Kit roughly £540 and runs this in 2012 600+ :D
-
mine about 140 for ALL my kit last season xD (i did not know the forum)
i scored close to 1300 runs ...
so 1300:140
im happy with that xD hopefully my recent new expenditure keeps this ratio up :D

...and someone in need of more kit! ;)

Who is cs mate in your runs

Civil Service.

I missed the entire season after recovering from back surgery.
£0 spent, 0 runs......
-
When I add all the 50 over, 45 over, 40 over, 20 over stuff together for 2012 (and indoor) I had a poultry 2052 runs in 67 innings with 25 not outs so ended with an overall average of 48.85.
However. I managed to spend just shy of £1600 quid on kit in 2012 so that's a ratio of 1.28:£1.. ouch!
upside is I'm not buying everything new this year so I'll only spend around £1000 this year and my runs should hopefully rise as I'm training harder and have improved again. Quick question.. for 2013 do I have to add the cost up of buying my bowling machine, feeder and balls?????? IF so, I think I might struggle to recoup that many runs!
-
That is a decent average procricketer. Who do you play for ?
-
You have to include the bowling machine etc....;)
-
then for 2013 I am already down £3100 from the machine/feeder and balls and I've also got an Aero P1 strippers from IJC so it's around the £3150 mark so far then :(. I expect to buy this season.. Bag, spikes (2), bats (3), pads, gloves (4), helmet, grips, few new cricket balls and probably some new sun glasses... really need to find some more games to play in in 2013!!!
It's a mixture of teams mate. That includes my weekend team, my midweek team, my T20 teams, some other sides that I played for with and against touring teams etc.
If I exclude T20's and the touring games so it's just weekend stuff then it's at the 38 avg mark. :(
-
Wow loads of games. That is great and I remember the days of playing 3 or 4 times a week.
Who do you play your Saturday league cricket for ?
-
I don't want to even think of my ratio for last season!
-
I don't like to miss any games through the cricket season. I am probably one of a few people around now a days it appears who refuse to take holidays, go to parties etc during the cricket season. Don't blame anyone who does choose that, but it's just I fully commit to playing and so I'm available every single game.
might see what a few mates say about their kit to runs ratio.. I suspect most i know don't spend anywhere near as much as anyone on here does though.
Anyway, off for a net. Catch you all later.
-
Where do you net mate?
-
kit £0 in 2012, runs ~ 300, so what's that?
Can bowlers doe the same thing with wickets?! ;-)
-
Not last season the year before when I was buying lots of kit and still not scoring runs I decided if I wanted to buy something I had to score the equivalent runs per value before I'd buy anything.... I guess that's a good way of keeping your spending under control
-
Well I bat down the order so even if I was that good I'd never get any runs because of my position in the line-up! Suffice to say I'm about 6:1 in terms of £:runs ratio!

Haha xD since ive been on the forum ive spent 230 quid on kit xD nowww .... if i could transfer the ratio ....
-
in the nets i look like Pieterson and in the middle i look like Chris Martin so mine is probably 50 pounds per one run at the moment
which is shocking
-
Bought an octopus grip for a quid. Only played 2 matches and squeezed in 29 runs in those 2 (6 wickets) if we put em together then im 30:1!

Including averages? Oh on, just 50.5 for me.

didnt spend much on kit last year i think dont....
as ryan was making me bats :)
so defo more runs than £££
-
Spikes £28. Runs- 800(ish)
-
Probably somewhere in the double figures for me... :(
-
£360 worth of bats / 265 runs = £1.35 pound per run - pretty poor
-
bat for £50, 580 league runs.
