Kallis Vs S Waugh Vs Miandad: which one to save the test?

[Jumno]

Which one out of the three would you choose to bat for a few sessions to save a test?

 

[capt_Luffy]

According to my father, he will choose Waugh to bat for his life ahead of any batsman to ever play.

 

[Brook's side]

Assuming he was interesting in saving me, I'd have it as between Waugh, Waugh or Waugh.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Waugh is a selfish bastard who wouldn't give a rats arse about saving anyone else.

Miandad is a troll who'd probably just get himself out for a laugh just to see what would happen.

Kallis is the answer by default.

 

[subshakerz]

Steve Waugh followed by Kallis.

Actually on second thought I am going to switch. I think this situation suits Kallis moreso. Waugh is more for situations when you are 5-down for nothing and need to recover.

There's only one thing in cricket where I prefer Waugh, and that's statpadding selfish notouts by running out partners.

Lol I think Waugh gets put with that accusation a bit unfairly.

Chanderpaul > Waugh at this task.

Chanderpaul vs Waugh is like Osama Bin Laden vs Abu Al Baghdadi

Of the 3 Kallis was the better bat, Waugh seemed to have better discipline though, so close between them.

Coin toss, but possibly Kallis.

I can think of at least 2-3 situations where Kallis had to bat out for a draw. Not so for Waugh.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Definitely not Shannon Gabriel

This tangentially rates to discipline so why not. (Rough numbers for Miandad)

Average balls faced:

Kallis - 103.23
Waugh - 86.39
Miandad - 99.43

Average balls faced in 4th innings - this is the really rough one for Miandad - since SRs usually can be very different in the 4th innings, I have no idea what his 4th innings SR was.

Kallis - 66.13 (not out 31.91%)
Waugh - 46.32 (not out 22.58%)
Miandad - 78.92 (not out 31.82%)

4th innings draw stats i.e saving a match

Kallis - 6 innings 1 n.o 273 runs @ 54.60 1 ton 1 fifty
Waugh - 8 innings 1 n.o 261 runs @ 37.28 2 fifties 1 duck
Miandad 7 innings 2 n.o 275 runs @ 55.00 1 ton 1 fifty

Found it very interesting that Waugh’s not out rate in 4th innings knocks went from easily no.1 to easily no.3, despite batting further down the order.

Pretty good numbers for Miandad

Yup pretty much confirms that Kallis is ideal for this situation of just batting and blocking.
