In cricket, rather than measuring performance in terms of runs and wickets, which are influenced by the opposition, they instead measure things like bowling accuracy over the course of a day. If a player performs well in this regard, they acknowledge it, even if the bowler has failed to take a wicket.
In cycling, I can’t imagine how detailed the facts and figures must be. I daresay Bradley Wiggins rides with total awareness of what power outputs he can maintain for what durations.
