- Pre WW1 --------------- 87.5%
- Between the wars - 88.6%
- WW2 to 1970 --------- 87.2%
- 1970 till date --------- 64.8%
Here is a statistic (in %) which remained virtually unchanged in cricket for nearly 100 years.
Then we find, in the modern era (1970-2006) it has dropped dramatically.
What is this percentage ?

Well Done.
Its amazing that 85 + % of all captains, all over the world put the opposition in for a hundred years of test cricket and then the percentage started dropping with its lowest (58 something) in the 80's. But it is a huge drop since 1970. I would be interested in kowing what people think this could be due to.
Your turn Archie and that was good.
PS Was it just another attempt at a guess or did you do some research ? Just curious since these figures are not available, I actually worked them out.
