[street cricketer]

Makes absolutely no sense to include WI in the overseas stats as the Windies are glorified minnows. Including WI along with SENA is only going to skew the SENA overseas stats, might as well include Zimbabwe too then.

There's a reason why cricket fans and writers just use the acronym SENA and not SENAWI or whatever that means. If it probably helps your argument whatever you're trying to make though, I can understand.

Also what is this "Away + Neutral" stat supposed to mean?

That scoring a century in the UAE is supposed to be as difficult as scoring a ton in the SENA countries?

LOL on your logic

WI in last 10 years or so have had the privilege of wielding three quality fast bowlers in tests who combined have ~500 Test wickets at ~28 like aggregate average and I am talking about their home where they have had the condition familiarity advantage.

If that is not the quality opposition then please explain to me what is ?

You can focus on the one column above the one you are talking about which is pure SENA+WI.

(and yes UAE is not Pakistan, still I included both columns)

 

[King_Kohli]

Highest average in fourth innings in Tests among current players:

Kusal Mendis - 53.66
Virat Kohli - 50.94
Kane Williamson - 49.14
Angelo Mathews - 48.10
David Warner - 43.41

I've been a part of many cricket forums and to be honest, you have been the first person I've seen using the SENA+WI filter instead of the commonly used SENA filter.

There's a reason why Ashwin's good record in the West Indies was never considered as proof for his quality outside asia by cricket fans and for good reason. One because the Windies are poor quality as an opposition and so you can't read much into records against them and secondly, until recently the Windies tended to have low slow wickets and so batting in the Windies was nowhere as difficult as compared to say playing in Australia or England or even South Africa where they tend to produce greentops frequently. I admire your persistence in trying to equate the Windies with the SENA conditions though.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Why is Ajinkya Rahane not there? as far as I know he has an even better away record than Kohli

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Also Lol at neutral venue... UAE was Pakistan's home for good part of a decade.

[MesonK]

Highest average in fourth innings in Tests among current players:

Kusal Mendis - 53.66
Virat Kohli - 50.94
Kane Williamson - 49.14
Angelo Mathews - 48.10
David Warner - 43.41

Kane, Warner are not from SC and Mendis doesnt have 5000+ test runs

 

[MesonK]

Why is Ajinkya Rahane not there? as far as I know he has an even better away record than Kohli

He has but this is 5000+ test runs club ...

Rahane, Shafiq, Shakib, Mushfiq, Tamim have yet to enter this club

ironically most of these guys probably wont ever cross into 6K test runs club

You are that gem of a poster who always relies upon stats instead of opinions. Respect ... but .... but your criteria here is too lenient. Minimum 500 runs and 30 average is putting Newbies like Rizwan and Pant ahead of Misbah and Dhoni.

My set criteria is more tight. You have to have 5000+ tests runs at least and then you have to score with 35+ average and make at least 2000 runs in SENA. It automatically cut out purple patch players. You have Kohli followed by Azhar, Mathews and Pujara. The true best batsmen from SC in last 10 years.

 

[MesonK]

Also Lol at neutral venue... UAE was Pakistan's home for good part of a decade.

You can focus on the Most 100s Stat column posted above the one including neutral venue. I am talking about the one which is 100s in SENA+WI (only).

I posted both because as much as you as an Indian try to discount it ... UAE =/= Pakistan and this thread is about detailed analysis. UAE is not subcontinent either so I added both stats, no. of 100s purely in SENA+WI and no. of 100s in SENA+WI (away and in neutral). You can build your argument on pure SENA+WI stats if you have any (I doubt it).

...............

Top Achievers of the decade who are still Playing with 5000+ test runs

1) Kohli

2) Mathews

3) Azhar Ali/Pujara (Azhar Ali has better SENA+WI Record While Pujara is a better HTB than Azhar, Overall they are very similiar)

4) Karunaratne

...............

Future Likely inclusions in the list: Chandimal, Rahane, Shafiq, Shakib, Rahim, Babar Azam

One also has to account for the fact that India plays a lot of cricket in SENA, almost double what Pakistan/SL play, which gives Indian batsmen an edge as they can learn how to bat on those wickets overtime. This is a HUGE advantage. Pujara, Ashwin etc have plays so many test matches in Aus already. They are playing a test series every in Aus every other year...
Also, Indian players gets a lot of List A games in SENA before they debut.

[UzmanBeast]

Pujara and Azhar are quite similar players the more you think about it.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Pujara and Azhar are quite similar players the more you think about it.

Azhar is worth more to Pak XI because he helps prevent a collapse after a typical early opener wicket.

But shush, it is taboo to rate Pak players!

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Some observations:

Shakib is a contender to be greatest Asian cricketer of past decade. What a legend.

Sanga is criminally underrated.

Pakistan have relied a lot on YK/Misbah in last decade.

Future Likely inclusions in the list: Chandimal, Rahane, Shafiq, Shakib, Rahim, Babar Azam

You can remove Shafiq from Pak's future plans. His days are over unless he has a monstruos FC season.
Babar Azam should be the next big thing in test arena! but you never know. Pakistan should definitely play more test cricket!

 

[Bhaijaan]

It was a very poor decade of test batting from the #AsianBloc with Kohli being really the only stand out batsman.

I don't consider Sanga a test player of the 2010s

Azhar Ali and Kohli played same number of tests in SENA countries. However Kohli played 64 test vs Azhar's 52 vs SENA. Pujara has similar numbers as Kohli.

 

[MesonK]

This is the stat which matters the most.

<B>Vs SENA as they are top 4 oppositions</B>,

Kohli - 49
Pujara- 44
Mathews - 44
Babar - 41
Azhar - 38

1. Kohli
2. Pujara/Mathews
3. Babar
4. Azhar

This is the false result that you get when when you 1) do not make a stiff criteria 2) do not go into detailed stats

Example 1:

Pujara has weaker averages than both Azhar and Mathews in 3/4 SENA countries. Hell he even failed in WI against their trident attack of fast bowlers (500 tests wickets at 28 average). But because Azhar has weaker stats than Pujara in only one of the SENA+WI venues i.e. SA you have a misleading result.

Azhar Ali dominates Pujara in 4/5 SENA+WI venues


Azhar Ali (AA)/Pujara(CP)/Mathews (AM) in SENA+WI

vs AUS .... 52/47/29 (AA>CP>AM)
vs WI .... 41/20/21 (AA>AM>CP)
vs ENG .... 33/29/48 (AM>AA>CP)
vs NZ .... 35/20/56 (AM>AA>CP)
vs SA .... 17/31/27 (CP>AM>AA)

Example 2:

Babar Azam in tests is like a baby compared to Kohli, Azhar, Pujara and Mathews. Let him score at least 5000 test runs to get a stable test average then we can rate him. Right now, He can end up scoring some odd 4000 test runs at 40 like average or he may go at 7K test runs with 50+ average. No one knows and this thread is about deep stats not assumptions.

 

[MesonK]

It was a very poor decade of test batting from the #AsianBloc with Kohli being really the only stand out batsman.

I don't consider Sanga a test player of the 2010s

His name is not italicized in the stats. Final result is all about currently playing test players

 

[MesonK]

Azhar is worth more to Pak XI because he helps prevent a collapse after a typical early opener wicket.

But shush, it is taboo to rate Pak players!

More you go into detailed stats more you realize that Azhar Ali is easily the best batsmen from SC after Kohli in last 10 years. He has better away stats than Pujara and almost on par with Mathews. Guy debuted in teams of fixers, surrounded by mafia backed players yet he gave Pakistan these superb stats while practically being an opener against new ball almost all his career. His true worth will be felt when he will be retired.

 

[MesonK]

Your criteria is better as it shows cream of the crop. My list is more of a basic list which shows the players who failed or were below average.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Stats matter !

Despite SENA tours India, apart from Kohli, has failed to produce a single master class test level batsman in last 15 years. You have no 7K+ @ 52 averaging Indian batsman anymore other than Kohli. Even Kohli is averaging 29 in last two years in tests. Pujara is not world class, he is on par with Azhar Ali and Mathews in filtered stats. Then you have an unstable career of 33 years old Rahane with his 40-ish average and he still hasnt been able to complete 5000 Test runs.

Rise of leagues and backing of brainless sloggers are a reason that Batting fort like India is having trouble finding a masterclass batting superstar. Same is true for many other cricketing nations.

Pakistan needs to groom careers of Rizwan, Babar and another youngster so that they may follow the footsteps of Yousuf, Younis, Misbah, Azhar and go for big numbers in tests. We need someone in next 10 years who will give us 7K tests runs with triple century and multiple 150+, 200+ scores with an average of 45+.

I've been a part of many cricket forums and to be honest, you have been the first person I've seen using the SENA+WI filter instead of the commonly used SENA filter.

There's a reason why Ashwin's good record in the West Indies was never considered as proof for his quality outside asia by cricket fans and for good reason. One because the Windies are poor quality as an opposition and so you can't read much into records against them and secondly, until recently the Windies tended to have low slow wickets and so batting in the Windies was nowhere as difficult as compared to say playing in Australia or England or even South Africa where they tend to produce greentops frequently. I admire your persistence in trying to equate the Windies with the SENA conditions though.

Your logic is a massive FAILURE and I will explain why.

WI has three test pacers who have played togather most often and have played for WI highest number of times in last 10 years. Below is their record in form of no. of wickets @ average

Roach .. 214 @ 27 overall and 22 at home
Holder .. 123 @ 27 overall and 22 at home
Gab .. 157 @ overall 31 and 25 at home

Them combined have ~500 tests wickets at an agregate average of ~28 while they average 22, 22 and 25 at home LOL. Your Pujara and Kohli merely average 20 and 35 in WI. Wonder why? because they have a quality bowling unit.

Now what you are doing is that you are equating quality of a side with their 3 players individual capabilities. WI loses as a team yes but achievement of WI as a side =/= Quality of their fast bowlers. Its like you consider Bangladeshi record as a team and start calling ATG Shakib Hassan a failure just because his team is a failure. What is next ... Messi and Ronaldo never won WC so they must be bad players too right.

WI in form of Holder, GAB and Roach has an amazing fast bowling record esp at home. Scoring against them is not easy.

Friend, we can not compare players with generation gaps between them. One batsman who played NZ of Oram, Styris and Franklin can't be compared to someone who faced NZ of Southee, Boult, Jamieson, Ferguson. Same goes for facing England of Dominic Cork, Gough, Mullaly vs Anderson, Broad, Woods, Archer ... You have to have common opposition to compare people.

From my stats

1) Kohli

Gap

2) Mathews
3) Azhar/Pujara

2) Mathews,Azhar,Pujara can be grouped togather.

Because, these four have played same brand of cricket against same oppositions on same tracks. May be in future Babar Azam, Rahul, Imam, Gill, etc can be compared too.

It was a very poor decade of test batting from the #AsianBloc with Kohli being really the only stand out batsman.

I don't consider Sanga a test player of the 2010s

He has played almost 48 tests post 2010 and made close to 5000 runs @ 62. Thats a lot of cricket. Sangakara is a beast literally like miles above Kohli in stats even at his decline. He averaged close to ~49 in SENAW in 2010-2015. He was 33 already when decade started. Most people lose hand eye coordination in that age.

So you are right, Asian cricket has declined. There are no more test legends like Sanga, Jaya, Dravid, Sachin, Younis, Yousuf, Inzi ... and post Kohli if Babar does not do too well in tests, Asia will have no masterclass batsmen left in its stock. Someone who will have score 7-8K runs in both ODI and tests runs @ 50+ with triple and double centuries to his name in tests ...
