Makes Sir Julien Cahn look usefulBenjamin Aislabie's first class record always amuses me. 56 matches, 224 runs, 7 catches, never bowled. Surely the most ineffectual first class cricketer ever to play more than a handful of matches.
If you have a bowling average of 21.33 at that strike rate, your economy rate is a startling 27.12...I will as ever point to Fuller Pilch for this kind of thing. Although Wikipedia and Cricinfo disagree as to whether his bowling average is 21.33 or the slightly more impressive 1.35, they both agree on his bowling strike rate - a surely unparalleled one wicket every 4.7 balls.
I don't like that - one of my few claims to statistical fame is my economy rate of 26 in 1987, would hate to think I never had that recordIf you have a bowling average of 21.33 at that strike rate, your economy rate is a startling 27.12...
Hmm, Wiki cites Cricketarchive as it's source for his stats. His Cricketarchive pages gives him as having bowled 670 balls which saw 192 runs conceded and 142 wickets taken. This would support the Average of 1.35 and strike rate of 4.7.If you have a bowling average of 21.33 at that strike rate, your economy rate is a startling 27.12...
I can categorically state that Fuller Pilch did NOT have a first class bowling average of 1.35 or a strike rate of 4.7.Hmm, Wiki cites Cricketarchive as it's source for his stats. His Cricketarchive pages gives him as having bowled 670 balls which saw 192 runs conceded and 142 wickets taken. This would support the Average of 1.35 and strike rate of 4.7.
However, the page then gives his Average as 21.33, his Strike rate as 44.66 and economy as 2.44, which basically disagree with this stats as posted above.
