Great All-Rounder Performances in a Test Series

So now you're the "dick police"? What are you 12?

That sounds SO WRONG......

Stuart Broad v India in 2011. Not just the averages (60 with the bat, 13 with the ball) but that his runs came at nearly a run-a-ball (96), and with the ball he had both a crazy good economy rate (2.28) and strike rate (36).

Great underrated series.

Jackson's test record is too good for his time tbh. Massively underrated.


Ian Botham's performance in the 1981 Ashes would be first in the list I suppose.
699 runs @36.27 and 34 wickets @20.58 in 12 innings, with 3 5'fers and 2 centuries, His 149 not out in the 3rd test is probably one of the top 5 greatest knocks ever.

399 runs not 699

Typo, sorry.

Tbf I think 20 wickets is much tougher than 250 runs. It should be 15 imo. Gallant that despite that, Sobers appears thrice, more than anyone else; and would had been 4 had they included the RoW vs England series. Surprised Shakib, Jadeja and most of all, Imran, never appears as well.

20 wickets is tough. There a plenty of ATG series that have failed to hit 20 through not enough games.

If you are batting higher up, in a long series, 250 runs is really easy. Kallis didn't even average 30 in this list. Horrific failure by his batting standards. Pollock averaged 75, and barely scored any more runs than Kallis

My pet peeve: they didn't get the ratio right. 20 wickets is equivalent to ~500 runs.

So Anderson > Tendulkar in terms of total output

Oh crap.

 

[Coronis]

Oh crap.

Also Bumrah > Zaheer Abbas

It should be a threshold of 300 runs and 15 wickets, which I am absolutely not saying just so that Keith Miller would appear four times.

Imran Khan - 0 times

less than Hadlee.

Confirmed second-rate hack.
