Quality of wickets

[honestbharani]

Well, from my point of view it isn't about that. It's when you compare player's records and you see that a large proportion of one player's wickets comes from worst test playing nations.

1/5 ISN'T a large proportion. The argument may be valid for someone like Pathan, but not for someone like Murali.

But generally bowlers do not attempt to bowl half trackers or full tosses as good opp. will give them a good beating.

Therefore, wickets gained via full toss or half tracker are not quality wickets

what if you have 3 men on the deep on the leg side waiting for the miscued pull? The half tracker in that situation becomes a good wicket taking option, esp. if the batsman is a compulsive puller (and many in the world today are) and it is a big ground.

He's at 611 and is close to 150 wickets against them. That's almost one out of every four wickets against the weakest oppositions in test cricket. I think that does him no service in terms of quality.

yeah but about 15-20 of them came in the last series, when even you would agree Bangla have been better.

Yes better they are. Being relative, they're still in the bottom two test nations in the world.
