Stats that make you go Hmmmmm

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
James Marshall's average is quite unique, when you consider he shouldn't have one at all.

Here's an "interesting" stat. Any player who has fielded in 19 or more Test innings has taken at least one catch, except for one player - Mohammad Amir (he has fielded in 27 or 28 innings, depending on whether Statsguru or his profile page is correct)

I guess he's better at being caught than catching. 8-)

(tosser) "Jacques Kallis is not a match winner". 8-)
Tbf though I think most people would be saying that with regards to his batting per se. The reason he is the top of that list is obviously because he is an allrounder. Though I have no doubt Kallis would win many matches with his batting alone.

I think Ponting is mighty impressive in that list. Played with so many other match winners in his team for most of his career (both bowling and batting stars), yet he still has 16 man of the match awards.

It works both ways. MOM is rarely given to a player from the losing side. So, players like Tendulkar or Lara would be a little hard done by the fact that they played for a relatively weak team for a considerable period of their career.
