Yes, yes... it'll really make my day if we see that fewer batsmen have registered their highest scores when Aag has played than otherwise. :P

Agree. The Age of TAV is a far more accurate way to describe the Age of the run gluts and high scores as well!

[Mr. Wicket]

Boss, I just tried sampling a few stats and made an amazing discovery. I'll start a new thread for this. :winky:

Srinath took 51 of these 185 wkts. Request the breakup of the 185 wkts for other bowlers too

Great stats man. One request - how many times has the Indian bowling attack failed to take 20 wickets in a test and how does that figure compare with other countries ? You can use the same time periods that were used in this thread.

Thanks. Bowling woes indeed. Thankfully things are changing now though.

Failed to take 20 wkts in a test. Sorted by the PerTest Column . This data is for overall. Will do the post 2003 later.

New Zealand : 1.64 India : 1.55 Pakistan : 1.39 Sri Lanka : 1.39 WI : 1.30 England : 1.23 SA : 1.14 Aus : 1.0 Divided the numbers by Australia's 0.44.

Since 1995 :

[B]Team	            TestsPlayed    Failed	PerTest	Times[/B]
Bangladesh          	59	57	0.97	 79
Zimbabwe            	73	60	0.82	 95
West Indies         	145	97	0.67	173
New Zealand         	117	74	0.63	120
India               	137	79	0.58	139
England             	173	97	0.56	162
Pakistan            	120	61	0.51	103
Sri Lanka           	125	60	0.48	100
South Africa        	163	66	0.40	116
Australia           	163	49	0.30	 94

WI : 2.23 NZ : 2.1 India : 1.93 England : 1.87 Pakistan : 1.7 Sri Lanka : 1.6 SA : 1.33 Australia 1.0 Again divided by Australia's 0.3 because taking 20 wickets in a test is a much more frequent happening 1995 onwards than before for all teams, so even though India's absolute ability to take 20 wickets has improved as it has for all teams, relatively it's still been around the same compared to other sides.

Actually, better yet will divide the numbers by the average ratio. All years : New Zealand : 1.24 India : 1.18 Pakistan : 1.06 Sri Lanka : 1.06 WI : 0.99 England : 0.94 SA : 0.87 Aus : 0.76 1995 onwards : WI : 1.16 NZ : 1.09 India : 1.0 England : 0.97 Pakistan : 0.89 Sri Lanka : 0.83 SA : 0.70 Australia : 0.52 So yes, India has improved compared to earlier 1995 onwards.

I wonder what the figure will be if you only look at tests played away from home.
