    *Official* Road to the 2025-26 Ashes

    ...better at Lord's (@Chin Music also commented on it). I think England would have won more comfortably had he been available throughout the 2nd innings. It's interesting that despite having played 10 CC games, Rehan has actually only bowled 20 more overs than Bashir did in his 3 Tests. As an...

    Greatest knock in each of the ODI World Cups

    I think the best knock in the 1987 World Cup was Houghton's century against the Kiwis. That was an incredible innings in a near impossible run chase.

    Botham vs Jadeja (batting)

    Again, Imran and Jadeja being more skilled than your average no.7/8s would take advantage of that to stay there until the end moreso than normal, but that did give an artificial average boost by allowing them more NOs. If Botham was no.7/8 he would have the same average boost as well, if not...

    Botham vs Jadeja (batting)

    Proportion of not outs is irrelevant. Only the sample size is relevant. At 103 completed test innings Jadeja has a decent sample, 2 more than Imran Khan.

    Botham vs Jadeja (batting)

    Yeah it's not a clincher if you Jadeja is still sub 30 against his two best oppositions and that is claimed as a decisive difference. Sub 30 is not mean for a regular bat. Congrats you are basically revealing you are lowering standards for Jadeja while extracting maximum penance for Botham...

    Botham vs Jadeja (batting)

    Not if 1/5th of your innings are NO. Then it distorts that average.

    Botham vs Jadeja (batting)

    ...despite being significantly better to his? Yes, it was not triumph, but it was far from a heavy failure like Beefy. Jadeja's 2nd game (1 innings) in SA shan't count if you have seen it. Can hardly count his SA batting record against him, except not having one which is fair. Failing is...

    Who's Done the Most Damage?

    In my previous posts above, I've been using BPI as a measure of workload per innings but the average speed of the deliveries of the bowler also needs to be taken into account for actual physical workload. Now, as a pacer ages, their average bowling speed tends to decrease so if their BPI also...

    Greatest knock in each of the ODI World Cups

    There's also the Fleming and Lara innings in that WC. And a couple of Aravinda knocks were thrilling in losses. It was an epic WC for batsmen.

    No hopers who made it

    First chosen by England when he was 34 and was 41 when he captain in the 81 Ashes!!

    No hopers who made it

    ...are good shouts here. both were fairly middling county batsman with very low 30s averages. tresco picked after a scout saw him play a monster innings and vaughan.....i forget his call up story. but both went from being completely forgettable county top order players to highly competent test...

    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.
