This could be used for Qadir, even more so tbh.
People say that away umpires could not comprehend the trajectory of the ball, this they failed to give many LBW's.

U19 12th Man
Out of his 414 Test wickets, 119 were lbw and 102 were bowled. This means approximately 53.6% of Wasim wickets came without help from fielders

You are such a disingenuous liar, but that's the norm.

Yes Wasim would have benefitted greatly from having better slip support,there's nothing to doubt about that.

Where your idiocy came in, as it usually does, is that you wanted to out a number on it. And your usual forceful behavior trying to force me to put a number on it to reduce the average.

Yes they would have been better, but he had his own built in advantages.

Also his average is a small part of why he's not top 10 for me, his record against the better countries, higher proportion of tail end wickets etc. etc. But he was incredibly skilled and Tbfhe end of the day he makes my AT XI, does he make yours?

No he did take a hit with missed slip and other catches. Virtually one can be expected to be dropped every new ball spell.

Yet they aren't important or should be factored into team selection huh?

But I'll give you a chance to answer, should it be factored into team selection?

I try my best to avoid and ignore you, but you keep tagging me in ****.

Dude you are the bloke who tried to convert missed slip catches into runs, need I remind you?

Yet suddenly asking for an estimate of impact on bowler average is a bridge too far?

We have the receipts. Anyone can revisit that thread and see the exchanges and your dodging like you do for countless points.

Anyways, we know the shtick with you. You make up your ranking first, then come up with arguments later, and whenever you get cornered you deflect.

Sure I already told you that several times. There are always loose spots in most average sides for blokes who are shaky on their own specialist standards, like Rhodes or Harper, but fielding gives them a way in.

However, I also said as a general rule, top fielding sides don't pick individuals for field positions, but they have those high standards anyways and fielders evolve to occupy those positions.
