39% of wickets vs Zim and Bang.

how is this Migara?
11.5 vs minnows
45.5 vs the rest

That is about 1:4 ratio IMO. But I can remember SJS mentioning about an English bowler averaging 4.7 against SAF and 23 against the rest. He would take the crown.

 

[Migara]

Yes, Briggs is his name. 4.8 against minnow SAF, 20.6 against the rest. It's 1:4+, so he's ahead of Irfan Pathan

Minnow-basher isn't an insult, it's a fantastic trait for a batsman to have. Scoring runs and taking wickets is always always always better than not doing so.

 

[Migara]

My definition is different Uppercut. That's why I use Abg against minnows: Avg against others ration. This will show who are tigers against minnows but ***** cats against better sides. You'd agree that Irfan Pathan is one of them.

 

[Uppercut]

I see. I just think of players who bash minnows. I always think it's a bit silly when people use the term as a sledge.
