Bond..best average and strike rate in ODI history...

[adharcric]

No.

 

[magsi23]

Quite unlikely. If I were NZ, I might think about keeping him out of CT and saving him for the WC.

True

 

[magsi23]

Bracken the greatest Left armer of all time in ODIs, who will 2nd that.

wouldnt go that far

 

[Nate]

He is statistically speaking.

Bond didn`t seem to go extremely well in the warm-up game. Do you think he`ll struggle on Indian pitches?

 

[_TiGeR-ToWn_]

It is a shame that Bond has ben unable to be seen on the International circuit. I enjoyed watching him a bowler that was just exciting. Not many of them around anymore.

 

[Perm]

Bond is definately one of the most exciting bowlers to watch in ODI's and tests aswell, the way he absolutely terrorises opening batsman with his pace and swing is just great. Especially if your a New Zealander.

 

[Natman20]

He said in an interview cant remember what tv show it was but he would rather play one test than all his ODIs combined.

 

[aussie]

Not totally surprised TBH, with all those 6 wicket hauls he has took added to the fact that he hardly ever gets smashed around, shows how superb a bowler he is.

All 2 of them?!

The pitches won't trouble him, it's the heat and humidity that's the problem. He was apparently really uncomfortable in that game, I hope he's acclimatising and will get more comfortable as the tournament progresses.

All 2 of them?!

only two, i could have swore he had around 3 or 4..

Bowler..........Matches...Wickets....Strike Rate.....Average...Econ rate

Shane Bond.....45...................87...........26.5............18.63............4.21

versus others!!

Is this a fair comparison?

Bond's stats are at midway stage of his career while most of the others are at the end of theirs. How does one extrapolate Bonds figures as of today to those at the end of his career?

For example even after 60 ODIs Saqlain has a strike rate as low as 26.23 it went below 26 before it went up to 30.4 by the end of his career. His average too at the end of his 60th ODI is identical to Bond's at 18.63.

Waqar's strike rate at the end of his 45th ODI (same stage as Bond) is lower at 26.07 ! It went up later. Even Waqar's average is lower at that stage than Bond's.

Similarly there will be others.

Saqlain's Test SR was not as low as 26.23 after 60 Tests...

I dare say Saqlain never even played 60 Tests...

OOOOOPS !!

I meant ODI's of course. We ARE talking ODI's right ?

Thanks for pointing out

 

[sideshowtim]

Bracken is very underrated. Averages 20 with the ball in ODI's too.

 

[Jono]

Look out, here comes the subcontinent. AND THEY HAVE BITS OF 2X4.

Lol!

These stats done mean a whole lot because most of the leaders on those stats have only played a small amount of games. Easy to get good stats like that.
