Average players who dominated great players

[Fuller Pilch]

I thought about this with Jeetan Patel owning QDK at the moment and making him his bunny.

What are some cases of standard international players dominating ATGs?


I thought of Stephen Fleming (admittedly a level above Jeets) dominating Murali. What are other examples?

Chris Harris had a similar thing over Lara in ODIs

Shame that doesn't have caught and bowled statistics on it - Harry took plenty

The career of Adam Dale springs to mind. He didn't necessarily dominate one player in particular (that I can think of), but he could dominate the game with the white ball on his day.

Hollies/Bradman is another. Dunno how Hollies fared on previous occasions against the Don, though.

Wouldn't call James Anderson average, but his record against Tendulkar is pretty impressive.

 

[CricAddict]

Cronje had the measure of Tendulkar. I think Yuvraj with Pietersen as well.

Azhar Mahmood vs the strong South African bowling unit.

 

[jimmy101]

Big Navjot Singh Sidhu's record against Warne will always be remembered.

 

[Gob]

Poontang vs Sharma

 

[Burgey]

Couple of SL blokes taking to he great Nathan Lyon.

 

[CapeTown Guy]

Cronje had the measure of Tendulkar. I think Yuvraj with Pietersen as well.

Cronje with bat in hand also had the measure of Murali.

Although every single achievement of Hansie's should be scrutinized tbf.

 

[honestbharani]

I think Cronje was a potentially great player and captain who succumbed to temptations and threats and vices. What a sad story.

Me reigning over this thread

 

[Zinzan]

Chris Martin vs. South Africa's best batsmen

His two biggest bunnies were Graeme Smith who he dismissed 8 times at an average of 21, and 2nd Kallis who he dismissed 6 times at an average of 14

Glen Mcgrath vs everyone.

 

[Migara]

Navjot Sidhu dominating Warne and Murali
Harbhajan dominating Ponting
Dion Nash vs Tendulkar
Roshan Mahanama dominating Anil Kumble

Few I can think of.

I was going to say Wagner v KP, back when Wags was mediocre.. So I looked it up on stats guru.

Too small a sample size, dismissed him twice at an ave if 6. But then while looking at his averages v different bowlers - I remembered KPs travails v left arm spin. The theory doesn't really hold much water. He feasted on plenty of SLA (apart from Vettori and Shakib and Rehman who did well against him)

He averaged 227 v Doherty , 175 v Raina 75 v Herath, 68 v Ojha, 46 v P Harris, 59 v Benn, 39.5 v Jadeja

Plus Hinds and Yuvraj got him out once each cheaply.

So after all that, seeing as I'm here ....,, the most 'mediocre' player to dominate KP would be Keneria. Who got him 3 times at an ave of 7.
