Gollum Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Made his test debut in 2011, sent down over 17,000 deliveries.....not a single no-ball. Like him, hate him, whatever...this is an incredible stat. Spinners in general don't bowl too many no-balls, even less so in tests but 0 out of 17,250 is unbelievable. And Ash is someone who likes to use the crease to create angles and trajectories !!! Will be interesting to watch when he does over step in red ball format, surely he has to make an error at some point of time.

zen Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) What is the importance of these stats? WI great fast bowlers of the past bowled no balls and also did well in most conditions Warne and Murali, though in a league of their own, bowled no balls and would be candidates for a spit in ATG 11 Edited August 30, 2018 by zen sandsaims and speedheat 1 1 Link to comment

Gosh is anyone talking about its relevance to decide candidature in ATG XI? If you find it informative for your local pub quiz good, if not you can ignore it. Some cricket fans like me keep note of this kind of trivia. The Dark Horse, Clarke, Sgattick10 and 5 others 8 Link to comment

Make Bumrah tail Ashwin everywhere till he learns not to bowl that no ball. I have heard ashwin is not easy to be around and can be a bore. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
