    Kapil/Jadeja vs Botham/Flintoff

    can debate more match winning performances centuries are arbitrary. Jadeja has 32 scores past 50 in 128 innings (25%). Botham has 36 scores past fifty in 161 innings (22%) and then the consistency abroad and the West Indies issue w Botham Can’t see the argument for Botham

    Kapil/Jadeja vs Botham/Flintoff

    wasn’t aware 15% is slight. It’s the difference between someone averaging 45 and 52. also home / away split is massive. Jadeja better outside India also Botham averaging 14 in the West Indies

    Kapil/Jadeja vs Botham/Flintoff

    not ours are meaningless, we established that when discussing imran argue the numbers rather than your intuition. Jadeja’s a batter batter and it’s not that close

    What we learned from the 5th Test

    Of course India benefited but the rules are the rules, substitute fielders are allowed and that includes wicket keepers.

    Kapil/Jadeja vs Botham/Flintoff

    and you can say the same about batting. Jadeja is selected for batting alone anywhere in the world. Botham is selected nowhere in the world.

    Kapil/Jadeja vs Botham/Flintoff

    haven’t we established that average is a better metric than rpi. look I’m struggling with this too, because Botham is such a giant of my childhood and Jadeja is well… Jadeja but the numbers have begun to overwhelm me

    Kapil/Jadeja vs Botham/Flintoff

    I know and also frustrated on a personal level. One of my best friends was heavily involved in the NZC setup and moved back after 30 years so we are planning on seeing the tests together so was hoping for a lot more than two. Plus the cricket

    Kapil/Jadeja vs Botham/Flintoff

    a more serious answer is I am looking forward to India’s next tour of NZ more than anything else they would do

    Kapil/Jadeja vs Botham/Flintoff

    is batting less important than bowling
  19. M

    Kapil/Jadeja vs Botham/Flintoff

    how is there batting inflation over much of Jadeja’s career vs the 1980s this is willful blindness dude, I had it for a while with Jadeja because he doesn’t “look” like a great cricketer but the numbers are obvious
