interesting stats

[Shady Slim]

aight here's a thread for real stats, big stats, important stats that are very interesting and actually mean something

younis khan has only ever been stumped once in one hundred and eighty four dismissals

 

[honestbharani]

Pretty sure Sachin's was equally impressive before he was stumped off Giles.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Chanderpaul went 265 innings over 20 years before getting stumped for the first time in tests.

 

[indiaholic]

@HB Don't think he has been stumped after that.. Don't know how rare this is though. Dravid too had only been stumped once.. But Burgey would be glad to know that TOTAB holds the record for being stumped the most number of times. Shows his #intent imo.

 

[Furball]

Pretty sure Ricky Ponting's got a really impressive list of Test scalps.

Especially if you include ODIs as well

This is one that I have mentioned before. Only cricketer to have scored at least 2 test double hundreds and taken at least 2 test 10-fers is Vinoo Mankad. I find it quite fascinating.

Edit: double hundreds.

 

[ankitj]

Record for most runs between 2 dismissals in tests belonged to Tendulkar when he scored close to 500 runs starting from his double hundred in Sydney in 2004. Not sure if it's been taken over.

 

[Burgey]

I believe TOTAB remains the only bloke to have scored 150 in each innings of a test match. I'd have thought it would have been done before him (1981 or so) and certainly afterwards.

Voges scored just over 600 between dismissals last/this year.

You mean "double hundreds" - 10 players have 2+ hundreds and 2+ 10-fers. (Border has 2 double-hundreds and a 10-fer; Botham and Wasim Akram have a double-hundred and multiple 10-fers; but only Mankad has 2 of both).

Blimey, Border has a 10-fer - I'm beginning to think Burgey might actually be understating how good he was!

**** I wish I could like this post 1000 times.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah Botham, Greig, Kapil Dev, Imran Khan, Vettori, Mankad, Ashwin, Wasim, Hadlee and Harby all have 2 hundreds and 2 10fers. A list of some pretty gun/canny allrounders.

Besides Harbhajan, jammy batting bastard.

Sorry, I meant double hundreds.

On ICC ratings: Ian Botham is the only cricketer to hit 800+ rating points for both batting and bowling in tests.

Would've been interesting to know what is the highest sum of simultaneous batting and bowling rating points anyone has ever achieved. Seems like there is no easy way.

 

[Athlai]

Well Sobers has a highest allrounder rating of 669 and Botham 646, haven't found any other great allrounder even close.

 

[GIMH]

Andrew Flintoff has a 100% record of running out the opposition captain in the last innings he fielded in

 

[Athlai]

I still think it's mad that the highest % of runs scored in a completed innings is from the first ever Test.

the perfect match! to think there are people out there who watched this live. Border score 150 while his team tried to fall apart around him. Then, just to underscore how good it was, goes and scores another 153 to secure a draw after a trifecta of Khans had scored 180.

3rd Test: Pakistan v Australia at Lahore, Mar 18-23, 1980 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
Wisden - PAKISTAN v AUSTRALIA 1979-80

but yeah.... interesting stat. You think it would have been done a few times.

 

[Burgey]

And Javed with the gloves in the second dig. Crazy stuff. Don't even know if there's any footage of that match but I'm going to search for it.
