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

[Prince EWS]

Roston Chase's 8fa in the top 60 or so always cracks a grin from me.

 

[ankitj]

This was last time around.

Bowlers with more than one entry in that list:

M Muralitharan 5
SCJ Broad 3
VD Philander 3
Harbhajan Singh 3
HJ Tayfield 3
ND Hirwani 2
M Morkel 2
Abdul Qadir 2
AR Caddick 2
GA Lohmann 2
Shoaib Akhtar 2
RJ Hadlee 2
DW Steyn 2
KAJ Roach 2
SJ Harmison 2
IT Botham 2
JC Laker 2

Some surprising names.

Update:

M Muralitharan 5
VD Philander 3
IT Botham 3
Harbhajan Singh 3
Imran Khan 3
GA Lohmann 2
Abdul Qadir 2
SCJ Broad 2
HMRKB Herath 2
M Morkel 2
AR Caddick 2
ND Hirwani 2
CEL Ambrose 2
SJ Harmison 2
JC Laker 2
KAJ Roach 2
A Kumble 2

Very interesting that Harbhajan's Mumbai spell in 2001 makes the list. He is known much more for the 4 spells in the following 2 tests of the epic series.

The Mumbai spell was in 2004 defending a low target on a dustbowl.

Imran goes from 0 entries to 3 entries!

The Mumbai spell was in 2004 defending a low target on a dustbowl.

Oh my bad. Mistook it for the 1st test in 2001.

Sir Richard Hadlee's 9fer at Brisbane is the only away performance inthe top 10, which is fascinating to see. Wonder what the home/away split is overall?

Update: I forgot to add Scott Boland's 6/7 at the MCG. Warne's 8/71 and Trueman's 8/31 also make the list.

If anyone has some bowling performances that they think might be a contender for the top 100, particularly recent ones, then please let me know.

7/120 > 7/71 just because the former included Lara.

Where does Daniel Vettori's 140 sit?
4th innings batting against Murali and Herath in Colombo. Conditions don't get much morr difficult. I know it was a lost cause, but so was Astle's epic.

 

[Days of Grace]

7/120 > 7/71 just because the former included Lara.

They are from the same match, so the opposition rating is the same. Lara featured in both innings. The 7/120 is rated higher because Vaas took 5 top order (1-7) wickets, whearas in the 7/71 he only took 3.

 

[Days of Grace]

And, what was the best rated batting line up ever to play test cricket?

Of the one's I have checked, this top 7 from the first test in Johannesburg in 2002 would be very hard to beat:

	Rating at end of match	Career peak rating	Adjusted rating
ML Hayden	872​	935​	893​
AC Gilchrist	864​	874​	867​
DR Martyn	805​	848​	819​
SR Waugh	778​	895​	817​
JL Langer	768​	780​	772​
RT Ponting	657​	942​	752​
ME Waugh	690​	788​	723​

Average adjusted rating of the top 7: 806

And Allan Donald broke down in his opening spell IIRC, so South Africa were really pushing **** uphill.

KJ's 5 for 31 in the WTC final.

 

[Days of Grace]

Where does Daniel Vettori's 140 sit?
4th innings batting against Murali and Herath in Colombo. Conditions don't get much morr difficult. I know it was a lost cause, but so was Astle's epic.

10.91

Herath was only rated at 487 at the completion of the match. He was still very much Murali's understudy.
