Kohli Test Average

[Victor Ian]

I’d love to see a statistical analysis on this tbh.

Someone raised it in a thread and mentioned a few names that correlated so I'm a believer. Ponting another victim from memory.

lol from google at least - stats from 2016

And from just a quick check, even the mightiest of cricketers -

Bradman pre marriage - 19 tests 2695 @ 112.29 12 tons 2 fifties
Bradman post marriage - 33 tests 4301 @ 93.50 17 tons 11 fifties

Notice not just the significant drop in output itself but especially in conversion rate - significant stamina decrease

Didn’t Warnie get divorced right before the 2005 Ashes too?

I'm predicting Kohli plays all 5 Tests vs Australia and scores < 200 runs giving him a test average around 46.40 similar to Damien Martyn. That sounds about where he should be

Joe Root's an interesting one.....

Before children: 52.80
After First Child (Jan 2017): 42.82
After Second Child (Jul 2020): 55.83

Although it should also be noted that he became captain right after the birth of his first child, think that may have been a bigger factor. He also got married between first and second child.

Imagine what he might achieve if he had a 3rd child?

nah, he'll get at least 250 runs in 10 innings. He's been crap against spin on tricky wickets, but not as bad against fast bowling.

Still not bad.

Interestingly,Steve Waugh test average increased after marriage.
