LBW's and Australia :

Below is a simple table that tells how many lbws the hometeam gets for every 10 wkts taken and how many the opposition takes against the hometeam. No surprises as to who is the leader when it comes to fewer lbws against its batsmen when playing at home i.e Aus ... only 1.5 when compared to 2.01 for the opposition. The stats for this decade.
[B]Country               HomeLbws/Inngs  Opplbws/Inngs[/B]
Australia               1.50    2.01*
South Africa            1.74    1.29
Sri Lanka               2.01    2.56
India                   2.04    1.97
England                 2.11    2.30
West Indies             2.16    1.82
Pakistan                2.17    2.34
Bangladesh              2.25    2.22
Zimbabwe                2.26    1.69

Great stats Boss. The obvious defense would be "superior technique". Can you get the stats on how many LBWs go against Aussies, when they play away. That will help us understand if there is merit to the argument that Aussies get most decisions in their favor at home.

Good point Bumps. Except in NZ , WI & SAF ... everywhere else Aus have a higher lbw/Innings ratio in this decade.
[B]HomeTeam                AusLBW/Inngs[/B]
Bangladesh                   2.63 

Technique ? :D

Good work. NZ & SA are seamer's paradise, so the stats make sense. LBW stats in WI may be attributable to WI's dominance in the 70s, 80s.
