DoG's Top 100 Test Bowlers Countdown Thread 100-1

[OverratedSanity]

Sobers' SR would let him down in DoG's formula. Gotta be Imran?

 

[andmark]

A part of me is wondering if it could be Wilfred Rhodes, but his batting doesn't look great stats-wise. OS is probably right with Imran.

 

[trundler]

I reckon playing in the 60s his SR would be adjusted downwards significantly. Prasanna and Bedi each got over 600 I think. If not I'd imagine Miller.

 

[Bolo]

From the way the question is posed (it's a mystery....) Im going with Faulkner.

 

[trundler]

Faulkner is a great shout actually. Don't expect Imran or Miller that much.

 

[Days of Grace]

Noone has it yet.

 

[andmark]

Might be an obvious one, but Kallis?

 

[Bolo]

Mankad? Shakib? Greig?

Not too many balanced allrounders out there

 

[trundler]

If it's not Sobers there's no way it could be Kallis either.

 

[andmark]

If it's not Sobers there's no way it could be Kallis either.

That was my thinking, but I can't think of anyone else who could really have done it.

 

[Bolo]

Kallis should be utter garbage as a bowler in this type of statistical analysis

 

[harsh.ag]

Miller, I think

 

[smash84]

Probably someone unlikely we think of like Malcolm Marshall maybe?

I thought that and checked his stats. A batting average of something like 18 or 22 (I also checked Wasim which might be causing confusion for me) wouldn't help his cause much.

 

[smash84]

I was wondering if he got it around the time he scored a century

 

[trundler]

Ought to be Miller.

 

[h_hurricane]

Could be Shakib

 

[smash84]

Muhstaq Mohammad

 

[harsh.ag]

Greig's a good shout. Kapil might have sneaked in too by virtue of his 5000+ runs.

Monty Noble??
