    Imran Khan vs Richard Hadlee

    Google "ACS cricket archive [player's name]" (without the quote marks) then click on the Famous Cricketers link. You will need to dig into the e-book that comes up to find what I did (p. 74 for Marshall and p. 90 and 91 for Hadlee (the two pages for Hadlee offer different perspectives)). I...

    Height vs pace: which is more important for pace bowler success?

    So if you've got the shortest express bowler (1 on your list: Marshall) and the tallest fast-medium bowler (53 on your list: McGrath) and exactly in between these two (the median of 27: Hadlee) then you've got the three greatest pace bowlers of all time. Fascinating.

    "According to Wikipedia, I'm 6 ft 4 in (193 cm) but you should never trust heights that you read on the Internet." - Abraham Lincoln (back in Lincoln's day, it was more usual to capitalise the word "internet")

    Who is the best new ball bowler of all time?

    Given the results, the kind of idiots who might actually be geniuses. Before that test, Hadlee's stats as an opening bowler were 8 matches, 21 wickets, average 41.6, SR 77.0. In other words, absolutely terrible. They did the right thing in demoting Hadlee to second change bowler. Maybe they...
