How much does scoreboard pressure benefit bowlers?

[subshakerz]

Give the recent victory of India over England based on crushing runs advantages, to what extent does scoreboard pressure assist bowlers in taking wickets?

And which bowlers have benefitted the most in their careers from this?

Fun stat: Jayawardene’s 374 is the highest score in the 21st century that was chanceless.

Yes

Warne

When McGrath started his innings there can be one sided scoreboard pressure (i.e a big total), but the batting team is always 0/0. When Warne would start an innings he'd have that same total to defend, but also the batting side is already down 4/90 or some ****.

The most obvious modern ones have been listed already yup. Steyn played with good batting lineups as well

Imran Khan against India in 1982-83 in the fourty wicket series, a lot of other factors also helping to boot.

Umpire, and tampering I assume he means

 

[Johan]

What factors?

I remember once being told Pakistani umpires practically allowed Imran to overstep that series and barely gave no balls.

Arthur Mailey. Not so much scoreboard pressure as the cushion of runs on the board allowing his full repertoire.

It's easy to say that eg McGrath, Warne, Gillespie etc benefited from bowling alongside the gun batting outfit Australia had during their careers but the counterfactual, that Australia's batters could play with more freedom knowing that their bowlers would more often than not restrict their opponents totals, is just as likely to be true.

To me the most obvious example of scoreboard pressure existing was with England 2016-19 ODI side as our bowling unit was made more effective because the batting could pile up huge scores, but comparatively weaker than others during that period.

 

[Johan]

By this line of thinking, should we not also start promoting the batsmen who played with bad bowling lineups alongside dependent batting units as they'd be put under scoreboard preassure more often?

Big Denis Compton boost.

Tendulkar gets the boost to beat Hobbs too

Tendulkar gets the boost to beat Hobbs too

Tendulkar would probably need a whole 5 to 6 point average boost to beat Hobbs, maybe more.

Nahh

Yeah, Hobbs smacks the Sachin–Hutton group, straight up transcends it.

Yeah, Hobbs smacks the Sachin–Hutton group, straight up transcends it.

Sachin-Hutton isn't a group. Sachin-Hobbs the only group there. Then Viv, Hutton, Lara, Sobers, Smith etc
