DoG's Test Innings and Bowling Performances. Updates thread.

[Spark]

One basic factor to note re: the apparent overrepresentation of the 2000s and 2010s in comparison to previous decades is that there have been a lot more Tests played in the 2000s and 2010s compared to most previous decades. So there would obviously be a much bigger pool of innings to pick from.

 

[ankitj]

Yeah, not only are we seeing more double and tripple hundreds these days, we are also seeing more hattricks. All due to more cricket being played.

 

[Days of Grace]

Will be good to see where Watling's effort ranks in the list. Thanks in advance DoG

12.31 (15.31 before I adjusted the system).

BJ Watling 10.00+ performances

142* vs. Sri Lanka at Wellington 2015 12.35
205 vs. England at Mount Maunganui 2019 12.31
120 vs. England at Leeds 2015 10.41
124 vs. India at Wellington 2014 10.29

 

[ankitj]

Thanks.

So it doesn't make it into top 100. I had thought it had a good chance.

 

[Days of Grace]

Scored out of a total of 600 and a huge first innings lead count against it.

 

[ankitj]

Hey @Days of Grace

 

[mr_mister]

It won't rate that high on a statistical basis surely. It's more about the intangibles and the vibe

 

[ankitj]

Yes probably, no sub-100 scores in the list

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pujara's will be very underrated by any statistical exercise

 

[cnerd123]

Pant came so close to two ATG 4th innings centuries in Aus.

 

[mr_mister]

Yes probably, no sub-100 scores in the list

Yeah i mean it wasnt even in the top score

Pujara's will be very underrated by any statistical exercise

Only averaged 33 or something this series but it was HUGE.

Some twatty poster 20 years on will for sure bring it up as "not a great series".

 

[OverratedSanity]

Series averages are mostly stupid contextless rubbish

Seriously, Pujara was easily one of the main differences between the two teams. Ground down Australia's vaunted attack which left them vulnerable for later assaults from the rest of the batting lineup.

Ajaz Patel's 10-119 is 48th on the all-time test bowling performances list. He is second to Hugh Tayfield's 7-23 against Australia for bowlers whose team went on to lose the match.

[OverratedSanity]

Did agarwal's innings make the top 100 in the batting list ?

 

[_00_deathscar]

Thanks for this

I know your list isn’t the be all and end all, but good to see something showing that while it was a great performance, it wasn’t otherworldly.
The other two 10-fers have an argument for being that.

Ajaz’s performance was great, it was not otherworldly.
