Sunil Gavaskar - bowled 380 balls, Average 206.00 , Strike rate 380.00, Economy 3.25

Test Career Bowling (1970/71-1986/87)

Okay we will give it to you.

This is from the list of 33 players who have played 100 test matches or more.

Of these those who have bowled and got at least one test wicket, Haynes has the best bowling average at 8 and Gavaskar the worst at 206. :)

Sorry if it was a bit oblique

Your turn Jason.
