    Better Batsman : Jadeja vs Imran

    Away from home (excluding minnows but including WI), Jadeja averages 38 and Imran 35. Imran's stats are a little boosted by his home record(not massively though).

    Better Batsman : Jadeja vs Imran

    Jadeja's great series with the bat recently clearly takes him over Imran imo. Was close before this series. Jadeja's away average is a good 4-5 runs higher than Imran. Way more consistent too overseas (a fifty plus score every 4 innings as against every 6 innings by Imran).

    Kapil/Jadeja vs Botham/Flintoff

    You didn't say that which is the whole point. You said whatever suited your narrative. Ignoring the rest of your post as it deserves.

    Kapil/Jadeja vs Botham/Flintoff

    And him averaging 7 runs worse with the bat overseas than home in such an easier era for batting shouldn't be swept aside under the carpet either.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    In the mean time, Prasidh quietly improves his test economy rate to 4.72.

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Siraj bowls like a SP when Bumrah is absent and like a DSP when he is around. Fields like a constable in every situation. WAG.

    Cricket Counterfactuals

    If Kapil Dev hadn't taken the backward running catch to dismiss Viv Richards in 1983 WC, popularity of cricket in India would have taken a lot longer to shoot through the roof.

    How does Ravindra Jadeja compare with Kapil Dev and Ian Botham ( Tests)

    For once agree with you. Jadeja hasn't been a penetrative bowler outside home, often bowling dry spells without looking very threatening. The ongoing series is a good example. Very similar to a famous left armer from 50s and 60s who used to bowl around 40 overs per test for 2.5 wickets on an...

    How does Ravindra Jadeja compare with Kapil Dev and Ian Botham ( Tests)

    Yes, Jadeja was dropped many matches away from home early on. It had more to do with team management thinking that he wasn't good enough, before even giving him a proper sample size. For instance, he was dropped for the 2014-15 series in Australia, without any evidence of prior failure there. He...

    How does Ravindra Jadeja compare with Kapil Dev and Ian Botham ( Tests)

    You are arguing semantics here when my opinion didn't differ from you overall. Since you mentioned that Botham's away record is far better than Jadeja, it is pertinent to point out that it is not the case. Botham averages 31 with the bat and 29 with the ball overseas. Jadeja averages 38 with...

    How does Ravindra Jadeja compare with Kapil Dev and Ian Botham ( Tests)

    For the record, Botham has played only 43 of the 72 tests England played away from home during his career. Jadeja has now played only 7 tests less than Botham away from home. Another interesting stat : Botham 59 tests at home, 43 away. Home tests vs away tests ratio - 1.37 Jadeja 49 tests at...

    Wiann Mulder or Washington Sundar?

    Sundar's test and ODI bowling averages are exactly the same now (27.87). His FC bowling average(27.89) is only deviating from his test average by 0.1%.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Jadeja has exactly the same number of runs as Kohli in England. That too at 9 runs better average lol.

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Rahul Dravid vs Kapil Dev

    I know. If Kapil is expected to bat like Sachin or Dravid, Sobers should be expected to bowl like Marshall or Ambrose.

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Rahul Dravid vs Kapil Dev

    Downward adjusts Kapil's bowling average from 29.64 to 30, to make it look worse. Upward adjusts Sobers' batting average from 57.78 to 60, to make it look better. Says Kapil has a run per innings of 28. And then says Sobers has an average of 60(ignores Sobers RPI of 50). Says Kapil averages 3...

    Have India failed to capitalize on BUMRAH?

    Life is just a journey from birth to death. The beginning of his end was his birth itself.

    How much did slip cordons affect Marshall's and Wasim's records?

    Marshall once threatened to bounce a helmetless Viv in a Barbados vs Antigua match, if Viv ever dropped a catch in slip when he was bowling in internationals. Poor Viv had no choice but to be a gun slip fielder and likewise bully his team mates to be as good as him. Akram couldn't similarly...
