England's 67 today at Headingley was their lowest Ashes total since 1948.

 

[trundler]

That means Australia scored more in the Laker match

 

[Lillian Thomson]

That means Australia scored more in the Laker match

What does this refer to?

 

[TheJediBrah]

That means Australia scored more in the Laker match

they did, but this doesn't really mean that

 

[trundler]

If this is the lowest total since 1948 then any match played in the last 71 years would've recorded a higher score. Laker's match was during this period. **** me, how do you have a uni degree? And here I am stressing over my future.

It wasn’t. Forgotten the 60 all out already. It was England’s lowest score.

I know English might not be your first language, but there's a really crucial bit of grammar you're missing.

 

[trundler]

Oh yeah, their — not the. Carry on...

Misread that

ffs Trundler. This is England's lowest score since 1948. Laker was bowling against Australia.

Yet you spend most of your time arguing on a cricket forum,

And it is a pity people continue to underrate Sir Jadeja.

As things stand, the odds are that he would end up as an ATG. People who did not like him initially have started to develop a grudging respect towards him.

Those all-rounder stats always make for some curious reading if you don't select thresholds that are equally stiff for batting and bowling. Like Kapil Dev was the only player to take 400 wickets and score 4000 runs at some point (still is?). Each wicket is worth roughly 20-25 runs. So if 400 wickets is the cut-off for bowling, 8000 runs should be cut-off for batting; no player hit both.

For averages if <25 is the cut-off for bowling, >50 should be the cut-off for batting; no player hit both.

I selected batting average of 30 because I felt that is the point a bowling allrounder really crosses great utility mark. On the converse, an ATG batsman who averages 40 with the ball wouldn't add as much in his secondary discipline as he is an opportunity cost for superior bowlers.

If we choose to select similar quality in both disciplines over a period of time, (bowling avg of under 30 and batting avg of over 40), it will be interesting to see who qualifies. Probably none.
