Is Jadeja an ATG test cricketer?

[Burgey]

I mean you say that, but Smith, Labuschagne and Warner have better averages than Martyn, Katich and Langer... and they never had to face Warne and McGrath!!

Well Smith has a better average than nearly anyone not named Bradman. Katich wasn’t in the 06/07 side and Langer as an opener was a fair bit better than his overall career stats. I mean, ask anyone whether they’d rather bowl to

hayden
Langer
Ponting
Martyn
Hussey
Clarke
Gilchrist

or the Aus line up from the last Ashes series here, or indeed any series post 06/07.

It is surprising that Anderson's hasn't done well in NZ, you'd expect it to be almost the perfect conditions for him, especially the pitches on his later tours. Like 2018 when England were rolled out for 58.

Perhaps what is more surprising is that out of 177 Tests only 7 have been in NZ (Broad 9). It's a fairly small sample size.

I suspect that had England won the toss in the 58 game, he would've improved his average.

Thought we were using averages in Australia to judge an entire career? If that's the case, Travis Head knocks out Punter from that team!

Waqar, Walsh, and Pollock average 30+ in Australia and are generally rated as ATGs.

Yea but the difference is they don't also average 30+ in 3 other countries too...

Too small a sample size but if he continues on his current trajectory he certainly will

Yes, but they owned NZ in NZ while Anderson got owned

Lol doing well in NZ is not a needle mover. Nobody cares.

Australia, be afraid. Be very afraid ?

Analysis-by-checklist-except-in-New-Zealand is the worst of both worlds. The absolute pits. Be ashamed.

This is ironic. Jadeja's name seems to slip into a number of threads yet here we have a thread about Jadeja and we have pages of discussion about the merits of Anderson etc.

So I guess you'll claim ATG Jadeja averaging 60.6 with the ball in NZ isn't important with regards to this thread.

Jadeja averages 44 with the bat and 22 with the ball in Australia and has won two series there. He has nothing left to prove.

i remember some blow in punisher of your lot going on and on about india's 1-0 win here in 2008.

so i think they cared when they win, just like the rest of us nerd scum.

we don't use a duke here mate

It was a day nighter (pink ball test) and England were bowled out in sunshine. England had the best bowling conditions (under lights), yet NZ replied with 427/8 (Williamson and Nicholls with 100s).

That blow in was Daemon.

We aren't getting him into every thread?

CW is failing.

He played four games. Exaggeration much?

Then why did NZ win the toss and opt to bowl first? The pitch was damp, it dried out. Hence the following two innings being significantly better (I will accept though that there's no excuse for a 58 under any circumstances mind).

Yeah, but his record in those 4 matches is so godly that it takes like 10 more matches of mediocrity to bring it down to merely good.

One of the greatest and most successful cricketers ever to have graced a cricket field down under.
