Tail of the Year-2017(Tests)

[SillyCowCorner1]

Assuming that a tail starts from the #7 position...

List some standout performances by the tail for this year.

Which team do you think has the best tail in the business?

Likewise, which team has a traditional 1900 era tail?

And finally, the best tail combo (multiple nations)

 

[OverratedSanity]

Jadeja and Cummins probably the best tailenders in the world by a distance.

 

[randycricfreak]

Herath played some good decent knocks.

Herath@8
Jadeja@9
Cummins@10
Broad?

 

[marc71178]

Pull the other one. Jadeja is 10 times the batsman Herseth is and both Cummins and Broad are better than him.

 

[andruid]

Jadeja is not a tailender

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Trent Boult at 11. 5 innings this year, 4 not outs. 68 runs (and 68 average). HS 37 not out

 

[Howsie]

For a guy who has spent 98 percent of his career at number 11 a batting average of 16 would have to be up there as of the best ever you’d have to say

 

[TheJediBrah]

Herath played some good decent knocks.

Herath@8
Jadeja@9
Cummins@10
Broad?

lol what are you smoking putting Herath ahead of any of them (let alone half the other tailenders in world cricket)

assuming you're Sri Lankan?

edit: Woakes and Moeen Ali for England (Moeen batted as low as 8 at times I think)

 

[Fuller Pilch]

CDG batted 8 a bit too as did Jadeja

 

[Daemon]

Did Bhuvi bat well this year?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Not in tests. Did ok in a couple of ODIs though
