Smith in first innings when Australia loses the toss and is put into bat

15 innings 6 centuries 1090 runs @ 90.83

Kallis (7 tons in 30 innings), Walters (91.81 in 13 innings) are others to note.

Only 15 innings?

Only 15 innings?

Yep. Most ever is Border at 38. Only 3 others have hit 30, including Broad of all people.

This whole stat is wrong. Aus losing the toss and put into bat Smith has 15 matches, 27 innings, 1417 runs @ 64.40 (including his 85* at Lord's)

Walters has 1455 @ 76.57 from 13 matches, 25 innings.

Inspired by a teenage discussion in the Asia thread - heres some notable averages that change if you restrict batsmen to the ages of 20-40.

Headley - 63.91 (+3.08) - 1 test aged 44
Pollock - 61.90 (+0.93) - 5 tests aged 19 (2 tons)
Hammond - 61.85 (+3.00) - 7 tests aged 43 (2 fifties)
Sobers - 60.47 (+2.69) - 9 tests aged 17-19 (1 fifty)
Hobbs - 56.03 (-0.91) - 27 tests aged 41-47 (8 tons, 11 fifties)
Tendulkar - 54.95 (+1.17) - 25 tests aged 16-19 (5 tons, 8 fifties)
Miandad - 52.08 (-0.49) - 7 tests aged 19 (2 tons, 3 fifties)
Chanderpaul - 51.23 (-0.14) - 4 tests aged 19 (4 fifties)
Compton - 49.93 (-0.13) - 1 test aged 19 (1 fifty)
Misbah - 49.18 (+2.56) - 20 tests aged 41-42 (2 tons, 11 fifties)
Simpson - 48.60 (+1.79) - 10 tests aged 41-42 (2 tons, 3 fifties)
Hanif - 47.21 (+3.23) - 9 tests aged 17-19 (4 fifties)

Checked every batsman above 50 - there may be some other minute changes further down I missed.

A notable bowling example I can think of would be Grimmett. cbf checking any others right now.

Grimmett - 25.96 (+1.75) - 12 tests aged 41-44 (7 5’fers, 3 10’fers)

When a commentator says a countries win record when a certain player scores a century.

KDub is only player to score a double hundred in 5 consecutive years:

2019 200*, 2020 251, 2021 238, 2022 200*, 2023 215

After the second Ashes test, Jimmy Anderson became the #2 for losses in test cricket, as Joe Root broke into the top 10.

The top 10:
Shivnarine Chanderpaul - 77 (46.95%)
James Anderson - 64 (35.36%)
Brian Lara - 63 (48.09%)
Mushfiqur Rahim - 56 (65.12%)
Sachin Tendulkar - 56 (28.00%)
Alastair Cook - 55 (34.16%)
Alec Stewart - 54 (40.60%)
Stuart Broad - 53 (32.12%)
Mohammad Ashraful - 50 (81.97%)
Joe Root - 50 (37.59%)

Clearly Broad wins more matches than Anderson and is more valuable.

Yesss

Also the converse – Average in wins.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Most wickets in a calendar year (ODI): 69 by Saqlain Mushtaq
Most wickets in a calendar year (Test): 96 by Shane Warne


Aggregate of Sir Donald Bradman in tests: 6996 runs

 

[Coronis]

Which is more likely to be broken, Warne or Moyo?

In this climate, most leaning towards batting…but there can be an anomaly with a bowler and he bulldozes batsmen.

Peter May the big shocker there. Must’ve had an interesting career - the overall top order average in his matches is even lower than Trumper and Hill lol.
