fineleg Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 kabira, Ok, Its not abt Saffers in particular, my point abt Steyn was more generic. I think a pacy yorker will still trouble a tailender if done consistently. Bowlers who can give a barrage of workout to the tailender and then york them have decreased. Link to comment

kabira Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Finey Finey, why was Malinga not able to dislodge Mithun and Mishra with toe crushing yorker. For sure he has best yorker in the game and his short ball is second to none. Why I ask you?? Link to comment
Sooda Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 ^ Fair point. Thats where the flat pitch factor comes in maybe? Mishra is ok but im not sure Mithun is that much of a batsman Link to comment

Zelig Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Here are the stats for the last 4 batsmen (#s 8,9,10 & J) in the last five decades of the current top 4 playing nations. Decade India Aust RSA Eng 1970s 14.94 14.60 14.55 14.75 1980s 19.24 13.81 NA 14.28 1990s 15.72 15.01 19.83 12.50 2000s 16.08 17.40 18.43 15.32 2010s 22.50 19.40 18.29 13.59 Partnership stats for 7,8,9 & 10th wickies Decade India Aust RSA Eng 1970s 19.35 19.46 19.48 20.26 1980s 24.80 20.70 NA 19.48 1990s 21.47 20.90 25.69 17.84 2000s 21.20 24.98 24.08 20.81 2010s 33.03 21.40 25.27 20.11 If you compare the noughties' stats of the Oz, you'll see that the tail hasn't contributed much with the bat (in terms of runs), whereas their average during that time is the best of the last five decades, which goes to show that their "survival instincts" has improved manifold. Of all the nations, Saffies' tail has had a steady success in the last 20 years. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Tailenders at it again. Ajmal 50 Link to comment
achilles Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Ajmal is a better batsman than Swann. He's also a better spinner than Swann. Blah, Sehwag is the best Spinner in the World :--D Link to comment
