Welcome to the golden era of fast bowling

Teja can we also get the sunlight hours in the cricket playing nations per year metric?

will the batting thread be before or after you submit your interview answers?

I loved the Anderson stat the other day that from 2010 onwards he has 458 wickets @ under 24. Pretty darn good figures those for a guy who can only bowl well with cloud cover.

another reason why we need to tackle climate change asap

Actually it'd be great if we can cross check those Jimmy numbers with climate data from his last whatever good years to early ones

Furthermore wouldn't the climate change affect his bowling negatively since its progressively getting hotter

 

[Shri]

climate change means extreme weather events rather than steadily noticeable increments to temperatures tbf

Yes but increasing of temperature due to both human related and natural reasons go hand in hand with climate change no?

 

[Victor Ian]

I do wonder how much the drs has helped*. Something I looked up recently concluded bowlers were taking 6% more wickets due to drs alone. Add to that that batsman would be forced into playing a lot more awkward shots now that they would have once padded away and it surely has some impact.

*Not to discredit the current mob, rather a mere curiosity. The bowlers were due a redress to all the advances in cricket that only ever seemed to favour batsmen.

jesus look at stokes in that period

3430 @ 42
112 @ 27

edit: also the 6s stat is hilarious. he leads the way with 62 and mendis is his nearest rival with 28.

In what order would you prefer them?

Cummins
Anderson
Boomrah
Broad
Rabada (bit down on form but otherwise right up there)
Hazlenut
Wagner
Southee
Boult
Trundler

Ah ****. Only 4 batsmen averaging 50+ is nuts. 90s scenes.

Jadeja robbed by 47 runs. He is averaging 45 in this period.

Jadeja 1500 runs @ 45
160 wickets @ 24

Also has 44 sixes, having played around half as many innings has Stokes has (48 innings vs 86 of Stokes)

 

[AOCW6]

Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad with over 3000 Test overs between them in the last five years. Wow. You wonder how England will ever replace them.

Such a tempting post but I’ll leave it for someone better.

Hardly surprising. Primary role of one is as batsman, of other as bowler. Still Jadeja crosses 50 every 3.26 innings compared to 3.44 for Stokes. Conversion of 50s to 100s is of course lower for Jadeja because of where he bats in the batting order.

 

[honestbharani]

Jaddu has 5 5fers against Stokes' 2 too and I think if you include 4fers, it would be like even higher. They have different roles in their sides but surely it cant be an argument that they are both up there when it comes to the best allrounders in the game right now?

 

[nightprowler10]

Reckon Shaheen misses out of the OP due to the ridiculous amount of missed catches off of him.

That's only cos there's a 1,500 or whatever cutoff. Jadeja has 44 (1,400 or so runs in the same period @ 46.28 and 152 wickets @ 24.57)
