Not as KeeperKumar Sangakkara
If you take away his first year in international cricket he averages 58.82.
If you only count matches where he didn't keep he averages 76.54 (with 16 100s!)
If he is captain he averages 69.55.
Take away when he doesn't keep and he averages ~80.Kumar Sangakkara

His average only drops to 24, which still falls by 1.Take away when he doesn't keep and he averages ~80.
Might do Warne's stats with India and pre-1993 stats OOTQ.
EDIT: lol, I skimmed over the last part. But still, **** me that's impressive.
You've got it wrong. He averages 79.35 against India at home in 11 matches.That's not really the point of the thread.
Well, it's only 12 matches worth.
Probably more interesting if you removed his first year when he got flogged by India and Sri Lanka; but also his injury-filled years from 98-01.His average only drops to 24, which still falls by 1.
Yeah, I just removed his performances against India in India. As you've shown, his record against India in Aus is incredible.You've got it wrong. He averages 79.35 against India at home in 11 matches.
EDIT : Oh never mind, you meant to remove India from Ponting's record. I didn't realize it was a minus, thought it was a hyphen.
Well no, because you're showing how ridiculously awesome he was in 9 of the 10 test-playing countries.I think, there has got to be a more legitimate reason than - 'well he was **** against them, and didn't know how to bat in said country.' to manipulate the stats.
What matches - can't remember last time England didn't win a Test match, those games don't exist.For Flintoff himself, if you remove any matches we didn't win, which let's face it are unimportant anyway, he averages 46 with the bat, 18 with the ball.
Yeah, I know. Talking ODIs, though. Which I think (I can't quite remember) we didn't used to win all of them a few years ago like we do now.What matches - can't remember last time England didn't win a Test match, those games don't exist.
8/10. His record in England is good as opposed to being awesome.Well no, because you're showing how ridiculously awesome he was in 9 of the 10 test-playing countries.
It only really becomes ridiculous if you do it in an effort to show he was better than another player you don't like as much.
Taking 40 wickets in a series when everyone else was injured (McGrath), bowling tripe (Kasprowicz, Gillespie) or lacking FC experience after spending so much time on the bench (Lee) not great?8/10. His record in England is good as opposed to being awesome.
