T20 Batting Avg and Bowling Avg Not Enough?

[PokerAce]

In T20 do the traditional stats for measuring excellence fail? Are just the Averages not enough to determine quality? Is there a need to create a new stat to merge Batting Avg with S/R, and Bowling avg with Eco. Rate. If so how?

World in Sport | T20 - New Stats Required To Measure Players

This is an article that suggest how to arrive at the new stat.

Thx

Nice article. Indeed unlike test/50 overs - stats in T20 for top players are very unusual.

Majority of the top T20 batsmen average in the 30s range, while the so called best bowlers have ER between the 7-8 range.

I'm starting to think these are normal for T20s batsmen, given how the game is played. If a man could average 40+ in T20s, that is very high level of consistency. S/R in this format take on added significance also.

Narine/Ajmal/Malinga clearly stand out among T20 bowlers as well all know. Malinga especially among fast bowlers, because only he seems to be strangely able to bowl yorkers consistently well, while other top quick bowlers try an unnecessary amount of variation i believe.

Yeah averages come down ... 50+ Good avg in tests, 40+ Good average in ODIs, and 33+ good avg in T20. I like how that article combined the stats.
