    Botham vs Jadeja (batting)

    The point is we don't know how long they would have batted more hence surfeit NOs functioning become bonuses by not being deducted. Border gets rated behind other ATGs precisely because he batter down the order and NOs are tied to that.

    Botham vs Jadeja (batting)

    If you add a very unreasonable 20 more runs to all his innings, and count them as completed, his avg turns 34.26, still clear of Botham. Counting NOs as completed innings is simply Wrong. The very reason no one says Border is a mid 40s batsman.

    Who's Done the Most Damage?

    ...0.975 = 0.904 (same as before, within rounding errors) Individual impacts of the three factors: 0.024 : 0.050 : 0.025 gives: Workload per innings: 24% Number of bowling innings per match: 51% SR: 25% The last two years two months of Lillee's Test career: BPI before WSC: 141.7 BPI...

    Who's Done the Most Damage?

    Great post. Yes it's true, Ambrose for half his career after his shoulder injury essentially bowls below par as far as a workload is concerned. Compare that to Lillee who was bowling way more as his career proceeded, after injury and after WSC towards the end. Almost ten overs more per match...

    Who's Done the Most Damage?

    ...so his WPM was 18.4% worse after his shoulder injury. Reasons for the decline in his WPM: WPM = wickets/matches = (wickets/balls) x (balls/innings) x (innings/matches) = BPI x (I/M)/SR WPM2/WPM1 = (BPI2/BPI1) x ((I/M)2/(I/M)1) x (SR1/SR2) = (117.0/129.8) x (1.76(0)/1.896) x (53.9/55.3)...

    **Official** South Africa in Australia T20s/ODIs Tour 2025

    https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/mitchell-owen-lance-morris-matt-short-ruled-out-of-south-africa-series-1499116 Shame for owen, although the concussion does kind of explain the innings from the second t20I.

    Sourav Ganguly vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Sanga would have been a world beater if he debuted mid 90s, taking place of Marvan Atapattu at #3, or opening the innings. Superb player of pace and would have been very comfortable with accumulating (what he was good when he started) and Jayasuriya and Aravinda in full cry. He was better than...

    Sachin vs Viv against spin

    Poor Analogy. Sangakkara was never the best player of spin nor Ojha was close to a good spinner. We are discussing the four best spinners during Lara / Tendulkar career. Lara faced Saqlain only a single test. Both innings he was bamboozled by Saqlain.

    Can Test Matches Get Even Better?

    ...been pondering some ideas he has formed for Test matches about imposing a maximum number of overs to be received by both sides in their first innings. Here he puts these to the test, before outlining their beneficial implications for the spectating public. To introduce Tony to those who...

    Zaheer Abbas vs Ricky Ponting ODIs

    Ponting 60 odi innings not enough to beat Punters career and achievements

    Durham County Cricket Club

    What planet was North on not giving Bedders a contract for this tournament. Ridiculous innings from him. Well batted Leesy of course too and another good innings from Rhodes

    Curtly Ambrose vs Dennis Lillee

    ...few test of a series then break down. None of that is taken into account. The series in Pakistan '97, Wi lost the first 2 tests by an innings, no shot at bowling in the 2nd innings. Maybe he bowled less due to a declining WI team that conceded more innings defeats. That speaks for itself...

    My very first post on Wagner is pretty on the ball too. :)

    Franchise Cricket in England Domestic Season 2025

    Didn't realise he still had an innings like that in him, and like you say, it'll probably be another 20 till we see it again.

    Andy Flower's Wicket Keeping, just how good was he?

    If Kamran played today he'd be fine, just injure himself in the first innings and a specialist keeper sub can keep while he bats Though if Pakistan did that I'm sure the ICC would change the law back in a heartbeat

    Does Shai Hope get into an All-Time ODI XI for West Indies ?

    Which ODI keeper-batsmen did Shai went past in this innings? All-time

    *Official* Pakistan in Florida and Trinidad T20s/ODIs Tour 2025

    Babar Azam has now played 𝟕𝟐 international innings without scoring a century. His last century (151) was against Nepal in August 2023

    Saeed Anwar vs Sourav Ganguly

    Lol, where did I say Anwar > Jayasuriya as an ODI batsman? You’re giving answers to things I never even said. If you're going with the "average against X oppositions" argument, then why did you vote for Ganguly ahead of Sangakkara in the other thread, when the latter scored more consistently...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Yeah I do agree you still need a few experienced players, especially batsmen, to hold an 'A' or development side together. And best if they're still an outside chance as an NZ backup batter, like Chapman. It's a question of how many spots to spend on that vs giving young players an opportunity...
