    Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

    Didn’t know that. The Wikipedia mentions that Limited Overs was first played in 1951 under the banner Pooja Cricket Tournament. Also read some Articles about Sri. K V Kelappan Thampuran addressing him as the founder or brain of limited overs!

    Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

    Not a stat…but felt like sharing The idea of Limited Overs Cricket was not found in England, but in Kerala, India in 1951. It was the idea of K V Kelappan Thampuran. The first ever Limited Overs game was played in Tripunithura, Kochi, Kerala named as the Pooja Cricket Tournament. This is K V...

    Ricky Ponting vs Kumar Sangakkara

    This one uses some adjustment factor, not actual byes per tests(don’t know who comes were in that list). Knott is places third here and as per byes/test Knott is placed 6th. Byes / Innings would be more reliable and Byes/ balls would be more reliable although Akmal still beats Ames, Sangakkara...

    Ricky Ponting vs Kumar Sangakkara

    In Tests if Sangakkara was in the same league as Gilchrist, then he would’ve been unanimously selected over Gilchrist as the wicket keeper batsmen of All Time XI, because he is a far superior batsman. One could argue Sangakkara only averages 40 while keeping, but really didn’t keep at his peak...

    Ricky Ponting vs Kumar Sangakkara

    I was asking about keeping to an accurate bowler like Kumble with that of Strang. You get more dismissals when Kumble bowls than Strang. A wicket >> two 4 byes? in Tests.

    Ricky Ponting vs Kumar Sangakkara

    @capt_Luffy I would love to hear your take on this. Keeping to an unaccurate bowler might be more difficult than keeping to an accurate one, but in Tests I guess keeping to accurate bowlers should be held highly because the more chances to getting dismissals is there. In Tests definitely a...

    Ricky Ponting vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Assuming we are talking about Tests… No Tait clause comes in… also Malinga’s effectiveness is reduced… Gilchrist kept against all sort of bowling and was successful against each… Lee at peak was consistent 145+ and Gilchrist didn’t had trouble. He was a better reader of Warne than most batsmen...
