Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Kohli has all 4 LOI trophies: U-19 WC, T20 WC, Champions Trophy and ICC ODI WC

 

[Qlder]

Only one player has the most amount of runs at two different batting positions. The great Stuart Broad.

Similarly, Daniel Vettori is the only player to have the most runs and the highest average for a batting position. Does that make him the greatest #8 ever?

I believe we had a thread on just that topic recently.

Jimmy Anderson the first pace bowler to pass 40000 balls bowled in test cricket. Over 6000 more than Broad in second and 10000 more than Walsh and McGrath - both bowlers who had ****ing long careers that carried on well into their dotage.

3 spinners unsurprisingly have bowled more - Murali, Warne and Kumble.

Harsh on McGrath.

So from DoG’s old peak thread with a 5 year 40 innings min qualifier.

Hammond (1935-1946)
26 matches 41 innings 2629 @ 75.11 9 tons 10 fifties

This peak does not include his best score (336* vs NZ 1933) or his best series (905 @ 113.12 28/29 Ashes).

That’s pretty absurd to me. (his 80 innings peak from my own recent thread also excludes his 28/29 Ashes series)

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Gus Fring's bowling average is maniacal-- 8.83

 

[Coronis]

Shoutout to Pud Thurlow.

Only played one test against South Africa in 1932. Bradman ran him out for a duck attempting to cross 300 for the second time, leaving him stranded on 299*. He also bowled 39 overs of fast-medium in the match, taking 0/86. He averaged 42 in first class cricket as a bowler, with a season best of 25 @ 36.28. Which makes you wonder, why was he selected at all? Perhaps a faster bloke could’ve helped the Don be the only man with three test triples.

Shiv Chanderpaul is the only West Indian batsman in this century to have made the Lord's honors board. He made 128* in 2004.

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Kapil Dev best Ranked batsman and bowler for 80s Indian ODI team.

Kapil Dev scored 90+ ball century in a test match against 4 ATG Attack.

Kapil Dev hit four consecutive Sixes to avoid follow on, just before losing the last wicket.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

He also made 175* against Zimbabwe that wasn't televised.

At the end of 1995, Sachin's stats as ODI Opener was miles ahead of the rest.

48 avg 94 SR.
2nd highest SR was Jayasuriya's 78 ( 28 avg )
And 90% of them were striking at below 70.

In the history of the game up until then, in the year 1995 or among active players that year?

Found this interesting as I would've expected a "hit the deck hard" type bowler to get a lot of caught behinds and I see Chatfield and Roach as both being more "wicket to wicket" I guess, and lacking a couple of yards of pace to be the sort of bowler I stereotypically imagine catching the edge a lot.

Chatfield was legendary for his accuracy and wasn't very quick, so I've probably misinterpreted that as him bowling at the stumps more than he actually did.

Any excuse to bring this up again:

Fun Rubel stats

- Averages 249 against India
- Yet to take a wicket against Pakistan after 47 overs
- His best figures of 5/166 came against NZ at an economy of nearly 6
- If you take out Zimbabwe he has 22 wickets in 26 Tests @ 101
- Averages 316 at a strike rate of 498 in drawn matches
