Bit of a difference though isn’t there? Crump was assessed after how many years out? Batchelor achieved his near 9 average season before last and isn’t 46.

He has a very low average because that is his ability, he's finished as a top rider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Riders have an average for a reason... Batch is 5.57 for a reason. An average is form ... so Batch has poor form ..... how many riders that have low averages have increased them with the Witches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What averages were Andersen and Nichols on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 My assumption was that Batch being pinched from Belle Vue means no Riss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 This would be my team. Ipswich Jason Doyle 8.96 Danny King 7.76 Craig Cook 6.98 Troy Batchelor 5.67 Cameron Heeps 4.96 Paul Starke 4.47 Anders Rowe RS Total 38.80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) Batchelor on a 5.57 ave vs Broc Nicol on a 5.23 ave, suggests there's not much between the riders ability. But compare their Champ averages 8.98 vs 5.50 & you can see how some (me included) would rate Batchelor as a clever signing!

Averages are like the stock market investments,they can go up as well as down.Imo I would expect Batchelor to put at least .5 -1.5 on that average and thats the name of the game. A few years ago when Doyle was probably mid 20's on a mediocre average did people think that was his ability and wouldn't get a higher average. Teams have to try and get a few riders in their team who they think can improve their average and imo Batchelor is one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Oh I wish someone would tell ipswich that,,, we have a habit of getting riders in who's averages go down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Ipswich wouldn't be stupid enough to go with an engine room of Heeps, Batchelor & Riss with all three arriving off the back of a poor season. Cook surely has to be the No.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
