When Kapil Dev managed to capture the world record of 432, who would have thought that 800 would be possible some day?
Makes me bullish thinking of what the stock indices can rise to. It could be out of our imagination. ------------- If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten |

These records will remain with teams who have one world class bowlers. That is because if Warne getrs 4 wickets then at the other end Mc-Grath would also get a few not like that with the sub-continent teams!

Basantji just to add, if we see some of the numbers they are amazing.
Murali has averaged 6 wickets per match(800/133), that means 3 wickets per inning.
In any inning there are only 10 players so at the very least in the matches he has played Murali has accounted for 30% of all Sri Lankan wickets taken.
Since in many matches all 20 wickets are not taken, Murali's share is probably even higher I guess about 35%
So quite simply he has taken 1/3 of all Sri Lankan wickets during his time. Wow.
An interesting side note
When Kapil paaji retired in 95 the top bowlers list had only one spinner Lance Gibbs with about 300+ wickets
Now the top 3 wicket takers are all spinners i.e. Murali, Warne, Kumble.
Glen Mccgrath comes in 4th at 568 wickets.
Any ideas anyone what could be the reasons for this? i.e. is it that there were really good spinners and no fast bowlers in this period?

Note:Dale Steyn has an amazing strike rate, one wicket every 6 overs.

Still Warne and Mc-Grath managed wonderful individual records.
Slow bowlers can play for longer periods. All these spinners retired at 38+. Fast bowlers cannot last that long. Fast bowlers also have fitness issues. They are in and out of the team with injuries. Kapil had a wonderful fitness record. ------------- If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten |
