Your parallel is hard to follow for people who don't watch cricket. I have no idea how 100 or 50 "innings" relate to a few "knots". Are they like some sort of weird imperial measures? (furlongs vs fathoms?)

I suspect that "knots" was supposed to be "noughts", a.k.a zeros. That is, the last few times the 100-point batsman was at bat, he got struck out without scoring any points. Is he washed up?

I don't think it's a very useful analogy. :)
