Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

[Johan]

I'm pretty sure Cowdrey thought the game was gone, I mean he came out to bat when England were still lagging 175 runs behind to break even with 7 wickets remaining, and it was a different era with two proper tailenders, four specialist bowlers and Bailey/Evans to back him up, not exactly a lineup to greatly back. He might have decided to deadbat to save the match.

Stats of Stuart MacGill and Shane Warne when they played together:

This must be something that has been explored, presumably? What do people reckon the reasons for it are? That MacGill only played when really in form? That he only played on spinning pitches where his massive degree of turn (even bigger than Warne's, by my recollection) was unplayable?

I do specifically remember they played together in early 99 against England and the Windies when Warne was immediately back from his shoulder.

If you discount those it comes out to 12 matches, with Warne at 70 @ 25.86 and MacGill with 63 @ 23.59.

If you look at all 16 by opponent…

Bangladesh (2)
MacGill 16 @ 18.81
Warne 11 @ 27.27

England (1)
MacGill 12 @ 8.91
Warne 2 @ 56.00

ICC World XI (1)
MacGill 9 @ 9.11
Warne 6 @ 11.83

Pakistan (1)
MacGill 8 @ 21.25
Warne 5 @ 39.00

South Africa (4)
MacGill 18 @ 28.44
Warne 17 @ 36.05

Sri Lanka (2)
MacGill 5 @ 46.40
Warne 20 @ 15.70

West Indies (5)
MacGill 14 @ 29.21
Warne 13 @ 45.00

They ended up averaging almost identically away, but MacGill averaged 19.62 at home, compared to Warne’s 31.85.

Based on ball-by-ball data (i.e. not statsguru's misleading splits), Dilruwan Perera has 93 wickets at 23.7 against LHBs but just 68 wickets at 52.3 against right-handers (source).

If you combine Pollock against right-handers and Dilruwan against lefties you truly do get one of the greatest bowlers in the history of the game.

Kraigg Brathwaite took 29 wickets in test, which is the record for most wickets in test cricket without dismissing a single batter twice. Mohammad Ashraful's 47 wickets across formats is the record for all of international cricket.

On the contrary, Norman Yardley's first two wickets in test cricket were the same batsman - Donald George Bradman.
