Decade of 2000s - ODI Stats

[W63L35]

One Day Internationals (ODIs) - Part 1 ​

Decade of ODIs
Well, yesterday last ODI of this decade was played between Bangledesh and Zimbabwe. It was 1416th ODI in this decade.

It won’t be an exaggeration if this decade is called the Decade of ODIs. Following table shows the number of ODIs per Decade and average ODIs per years and you can see the difference between this decade and the previous ones.

[B]Decade   ODIs     ODI/Year[/B]
1970s     103      10.30
1980s     556      55.60
1990s    1003     100.30
2000s    1416     141.60

Team of the Decade
No prizes for guessing which team it was. Two ODI World Cups and numerous other tournaments were played. With two World Cup Trophies (2003 and 2007) & best Win/Loss ratio, Australia basically dominated the decade and is the ODI team of this decade.

Win/Loss Record of all Teams​

Twenty four teams played official ODI in last 10 years. Here is win/loss record for each team:

Win/Loss Record of all "major" Teams (spilt by minnows):

There were number of great individual performances. Most notable was the first double hundred in ODIs by none other than Sachin Tendulkar. Individual scores of 150 or more were scored 37 times… with Sachin was the only batsman to cross 150 mark four times. In 1990s, 150 was crossed only 16 times.

Individual scores of 160 or more:

Individual 100s with Best Strike Rates:

Three innings get my vote for the "Innings of the Decade":
1. Sachin's 200 ..... just because it was a first 200 in ODIs.
2. Afridi's 100 in Kanpur because it was scored with best S/R out of all 584 100s scored in this decade.
3. Gibbs' 175 vs Australia.

Batsmen with 3700 or more ODI Runs:
A total of 49 batsmen crossed 3000 runs mark in this decade. Below are the 38 batsmen who scored 3700 or more ODI runs;

From the list of bastmen with 3700 or more ODI runs:

Most Runs:                    9364  by Ricky Ponting
Best Average:                52.32  by Micheal Hussey
Best S/R:                   127.26  by Shahid Afridi

Most Sixes:                    191  by Shahid Afridi

Rick Ponting with all his achievements with the bat gets my vote for the "ODI Batsman of the Decade". I know, Sachin fans and Afridi fans will disagree with me!

​

Individual Bowling Stats​

There were number of great individual. Vaas has the best figures of the decade when he took 8/19 vs Zimbabwe. Who can forget Waqar’s 7/36 against England in the twilight of his career? Here are all six wicket in an innings performances (31 of them) of the decade;

Following 5 performances get my vote for the "Top Bowling Performances of the Decade":

[B]Bowler               O    M  R   W  Vs          At        Date[/B]

Jayasuria gets my vote for the "All Rounder Performance in a Match of the Decade" for his 122 and for wickets in Adelaide vs Australia.

Too close to call for one All Rounder. My vote goes to all of them!

Four or more catches in a Match:

Fielders with 70 or more catches:

Even though Jayawardene has the most catches and Hussey has best C/I ratio, my vote for the "Fielder of thre Decade" goes to Paul Collingwood for the number of amazing catches he held, runs saved and 2nd best C/I ration from above list.

I'll be doing similar stats for Test matches and T20s for the decade of 2000s after last Test and T20 of the decade are over......only if there is enough interest is shown in this thread!

Enjoy!!!!!!!!

 

[Inswinger]

141 ODI per year in this decade! That's absolutely amazing.

 

[cricfan4ever]

the one thing that stands out to me is the 262 times a score of 300+ has been scored in this decade...

an obvious indicator of pitches being flat...compared to the 90s where it was only scored 83 times...making ODIs far more compelling to watch in the 90s!!!

however, I believe, it's really the last 4-5 yrs in this decade that the standards of pitches has really gone down hill in ODIs...and that has heavily added to the tally of 300+ scores...

gone are the days of good old 250-260 scores which were extremely competitive...

even 200-220!!! those days, we saw real battle b/w bat & ball even in ODIs!!!

 

[James]

You can really tell that England only started getting good in 2007

 

[akamaka]

Woah, great stats.
Really enjoyed them and mostly agree with your awards.
Keep it up W63L35!
Cant wait for the tests and T20 stats.

 

[ddss]

Awesome work man! enjoyed reading it

 

[ajithrocks]

Ponting as an ODI batsman ahead of Sachin, Hussey and Gilchrist is ridiculous. While looking for batsman of a decade, you cannot just go by runs scored and centuries hit. Look at the number of matches ponting has played and sachin has played. Look at the average of sachin over 10 years close to 50 and look at ponting's average. Look at sachin's strike rate over this period and ponting's strike rate.

To rate a batsman in ODI, one should take in to account the ODI batting index. The product of strike rate and projected average. In addition other factors like man of the match awards for batting, and important knocks.

So Sachin is first by big margin followed by gilchrist and then Hussey. Ponting is no where close to being the best odi batsman of australia over the past decade leave alone being the best of the world. Ponting followed by kallis, dravid and hayden are the best batsman of the past decade in tests, and this has a lot to do with the kind of team that ponting played, however that not being his fault, we can cleary say that he was the most dominant test batsman of 2000s (or atleast during the period of 2000-2006).

Bhai aap kitya kaam karte ho? Your table and stats look so professional. You must spend a lot of time preparing to come on Pakpassion. We need people like you.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Great work man.Couple of things struck me about Pakistan.
Waqar had us performing brilliant under him.Pity things didn't go according to plan at the world cup.
Yousaf is truly a world class odi batsman.

Do you know who has hit the most 100s and scored most runs in ODIs and test matches??

 

[saeed-sohail]

Thanks to everybody who liked (and will like) the thread!

What about the "dislike group"(read Anwaar)?Surely he will be working on some tables to prove malik is player of the decade.

 

[saamry]

allrounder

Afridi and Razaq are two of the top ODI all rounder.
Hopefully, Pak will make good use of them in upcoming worldcup.

 

[dinakar]

btw, among the lowest team totals, where is our outstanding performance against Srilanka in Sharjah? i think it happened in this decade. is it not?

 

[MRSN]

good work
I am looking forward to T20 stats.We have done remarkably well barring last four games.

 

[W63L35]

Surely he will be working on some tables to prove malik is player of the decade.

No he won't ..... if does that ....then he'll also prove that YK is also Player of the Decade.... because YK and SM .. both have amazingly similar stats for the decade;

 

[W63L35]

btw, among the lowest team totals, where is our outstanding performance against Srilanka in Sharjah? i think it happened in this decade. is it not?

No....at the end of last decade on 29 October 2000.

[1137moiz]

Love it. Potw

 

[Dondulkar]

Also shows how much Pak, Sri Lanka took advantage of minnows to boost their stats !

 

[MRSN]

No he won't ..... if does that ....then he'll also prove that YK is also Player of the Decade.... because YK and SM .. both have amazingly similar stats for the decade;

Shoib Malik's average is higher ,so he wins

 

[1137moiz]

An India fan talking about others "boosting their stats". Where to start?

 

[saeed-sohail]

No he won't ..... if does that ....then he'll also prove that YK is also Player of the Decade.... because YK and SM .. both have amazingly similar stats for the decade;

I don't believe in these stats one is an odi failure other first name on our team sheet.
But a serious question isn't malik statistically our best odi captain ever?How is waqar above him in that table?

 

[saeed-sohail]

No....at the end of last decade on 29 October 2000.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/65900.html

Bhai we celebrated new millennium on Jan 1st 2000.

 

[1137moiz]

In my opinion Saeed Sohail the 2001-02 years of Pakistan oine-0days was far better than our 1999 season. Waqar wasn't as smart a cappo as Wasim but some of our best cricket ever was played from about April 2000 to July 2002

 

[W63L35]

Also shows how much Pak, Sri Lanka took advantage of minnows to boost their stats !

India played 44 matches vs minnows and Pakistan played 47.... not much difference. So is it Pakistan and Sri Lanka's fault that they lost less matched to minnows than India???

This is a classic case of damn if you do ... and damn if you don't. When we lost to BD in 199 WC.... everybody cried foul but then in last decade we lose only one match to minnow...... and now we are accused of boosting our stats.

See the table below.... and some would say India losing 7 matches to minnow could involve some type of fixing... just like Paksitan were accused of fixing in 1999;

Agree 2000/02 was good but in 99 we won tri series India and won in sharjah twice.

 

[W63L35]

Bhai we celebrated new millennium on Jan 1st 2000.

From wiki,

Since the common calendar starts from the year 1, its first full decade contained the years from 1 to 10, the second decade from 11 to 20, and so on.[6] So while the "1960s" comprises the years 1960 to 1969, the "197th decade" spans 1961 to 1970.

 

[1137moiz]

Agree 2000/02 was good but in 99 we won tri series India and won in sharjah twice.

Yep they were both good. But saying that 99 was our best ever and Waqar Younis a failure (as many posters have) is a wrong cliche. Though we were horriblific from about September 2002

 

[W63L35]

I don't believe in these stats one is an odi failure other first name on our team sheet.
But a serious question isn't malik statistically our best odi captain ever?How is waqar above him in that table?

Can we keep Malik out of this thread please.......? I'll take you question to the infamous Malik Support thread.

 

[insaaniyat]

From wiki,

yaar itni bahas aik saal ke liye?

 

[W63L35]

yaar itni bahas aik saal ke liye?

Look who is talking....??? Next time you say anything about Afridi, I'll quote you .... "yaar itni baha aik player ke liye?"

 

[insaaniyat]

Look who is talking....??? Next time you say anything about Afridi, I'll quote you .... "yaar itni baha aik player ke liye?"

Kaun player? is he a player?

 

[W63L35]

Kaun player? is he a player?

I did not know you were color blind.... otherwise you would have seen his name highlighted about 30 times in first three posts of this thread.... or you did'nt even read the first 3 posts?

 

[saeed-sohail]

W63L35 its 4.15am here I am off to bed we will talk about my "favourite" player tomorrow.

 

[MRSN]

so much hate for Shoib malik??He was our 4th best ODI batsman

 

[NJamal]

Great work W63L35. You are spot on for the awards of the decade. Australia dominated the good part of that decade and India dominated the later less part. Big scores are seen more frequent in the later part of the decade. The quality of the pitches and the bowlers had went down considerably in this decade thats why we saw too many big scores.

 

[dinakar]

that is the mistake I had too.

 

[ajithrocks]

Do you know who has hit the most 100s and scored most runs in ODIs and test matches??

Yes. So what.. mere runs and centuries will not make ganguly a better batsman than gilchrist in odis.

Sachin is great not only because he is the leading run scorer, has max centuries, but because he scored his runs at a rapid rate, won max number matches and man of the match awards (look at the rate).

If just runs are the yardstick.. dravid with 10k plus runs in ODIs should be ahead of inzi and miandad in ODIs.. may be that is your logic...

In my book a plyer who played 100 matches and scored 5000 runs is much better than someone who played 150 matches and scored 6000 runs. In otherwords 7700 runs at 49.4 with a strike rate of 86.5 is any day better than 9364 runs at an average of 44 and at a strike rate of 84. In 175 innings sachin scored 19 centuries he takes less than 10 innings to hit a ton.. name one other player in that list who is more prolific in hitting tons. You device any yardstick and yet sachin will be better than ponting unless you give points for your personal opinion

There is no point in giving the facts.. for someone who don't want to accept the reality and live in a state of denial..

 

[cricketindiafan]

Absolutely amazing work. So wonderfully done and lucidly written.

Agree with most of your choices. Gilchrist as the ODI player of the 2000s is a fantastic choice.

How about doing a team of the 2000s and picking 12 players for that? My choices-

Sachin
Gilchrist
Ponting
Kallis
Yousuf
Jayasuriya
Symonds
Vaas
Lee
Murali
Mcgrath
12th Man: Collingwood

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Afridi and Razaq are two of the top ODI all rounder.
Hopefully, Pak will make good use of them in upcoming worldcup.

Afridi is useless, stats lie when it comes to Afridi. How can you write Afridi and best in one line. And the list goes on………

 

[hussnainn]

Amazing stats man.. well done..

 

[Krishnan]

Arey good job man.

 

[Inziquicksingle]

LOL owned.

And good job OP. Great work. I am really looking forward to the Test stats.

 

[imshally81]

Excellent work.... i really appreciate your work

 

[RehanG]

wow! nice share i think u had a day off

 

[Aditya Khanna]

1) The decade of 2000, or the noughties if you will, started in year 2000 and got over in 2009.

 

[W63L35]

Yes. So what.. mere runs and centuries will not make ganguly a better batsman than gilchrist in odis.

Keep guessing my logic becuase you have to figure out your own logic first. You keep contrdicting your ownself. In you first post you complained that "you cannot just go by runs scored and centuries hit."... but then start worshipping Sachin becuase he HAS scored more runs and 100s than anybody else. Make up your own midn first.

In my book a plyer who played 100 matches and scored 5000 runs is much better than someone who played 150 matches and scored 6000 runs. In otherwords 7700 runs at 49.4 with a strike rate of 86.5 is any day better than 9364 runs at an average of 44 and at a strike rate of 84.
..

One more time, you are falling into your own trap. If you stick by this example..... then Sachin is still behind TWO batsmen ... Hussey and Dhoni;
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...1;spanval1=span;template=results;type=batting

Just in case you have not noticed..... both Dhoni & Hussey have BETTER S/R and BETTER Average than the player you are whining about.

In 175 innings sachin scored 19 centuries he takes less than 10 innings to hit a ton.. name one other player in that list who is more prolific in hitting tons.

Now, that I have shown you that Dhoni and Hussey were better than Sachin (by your logic), you want Sachin to be considered just because he has hit more 100s? Go back and look at your first post's 2nd sentence.

You device any yardstick and yet sachin will be better than ponting unless you give points for your personal opinion

By your own yard stick, I have showed you that Dhoni and Hussey were better than him in last decade. Next whine, please!

There is no point in giving the facts.. for someone who don't want to accept the reality and live in a state of denial..

Make your own mind about what criteria you want to use, and then we'll talk...

and by the way.... using your logic, you want me to name Hussey Batsman of the Decade or Dhoni?

1) The decade of 2000, or the noughties if you will, started in year 2000 and got over in 2009.

See post # 33 above.

Brilliant compilation and analysis.

PP is lucky to have posters like you!

 

[Aditya Khanna]

2) That random wiki entry got it right, 1960s means a period from 1960 to 1969. Similarly, noughties means 2000 to 2009.

 

[Aditya Khanna]

3) Now, coming to the bit on cricket, let's see what we have.

Ponting featured in 239 matches. Collected 9103 runs at 44.18 per match. Strike rate of 84.

The Maestro featured in 211 matches. Accumulated 8823 runs at 46.68 with a strike rate of 85.

Marginally better stats for Sachin but little to separate the two.

Very nice post W63L35, must have taken a lot of work. Thanks and keep it up

2) That random wiki entry got it right, 1960s means a period from 1960 to 1969.

I also said "Decade" and 200th decade means 2001 to 2010.

Similarly, noughties means 2000 to 2009.

I did not say, I was doing stats for noughties.


But if we want to get really really picky then .... a decade means a period of ANY ten years... and that could be from 2005 to 2014.

I think coz Ponting was leading the national team as well,winning three world cups,two champion trophies and many series makes him superior.

Nothing worng with that.... that's your opinion.... and I had my opinion in post #1-3. If everybody agreed with everybody then... Saj and Co better shut down the forum and go home!

At least ...you didn't go with the picks in post # 10!

shows Pakistan are the ultimate minnow bashers

So, you are also saying India fixed their 7 losses to minnows in this decade as Pakistan was accused of fixing their loss to BD in 1999 WC?

Here... read Post #31.

[Black Zero]

What about the "dislike group"(read Anwaar)?Surely he will be working on some tables to prove malik is player of the decade.

SS, I always have problem when people bring in arbitrary qualifications...

it's like "designing" the stats...so I don't comment on these much...

for example, if we change the qualification for captains to 1000 then Malik is the top 3 in the world...personal performance wise. after Dhoni and Inzi

and we already know that Malik is the best odi captain for Pakistan...and i am not saying about this decade only.

 

[Black Zero]

I don't believe in these stats one is an odi failure other first name on our team sheet.
But a serious question isn't malik statistically our best odi captain ever?How is waqar above him in that table?

It's called custom-made stats (qualifications)

 

[mastermind_quad]

brilliant analysis W63L35...

 

[W63L35]

SS, I always have problem when people bring in arbitrary qualifications...

I am devastated for causing problem to you. I so much apologize!

for example, if we change the qualification for captains to 1000 then Malik is the top 3 in the world...personal performance wise. after Dhoni and Inzi

...and if we change the qualification to 10 matches (or remove any arbitrary qualification), then Mohammad Asif is the best T20 batsman in the world......
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...e_rate;size=200;template=results;type=batting

........correct?

and only Anwaar already thinks that Malik is the best odi captain for Pakistan...and i am not saying about this decade only.

fixed.

 

[mastermind_quad]

there are some missing stats as far as batting is concerned for Afridi .... ....

he having lots of 300+ & 400+ SR scores too...worth mentioning ....

some of the Innings like ..... 6(2) ,10(3) ,20(8) etc....

sorry Dr. Sahab...

 

[W63L35]

brilliant analysis W63L35...

Thanks.... but I did not do analysis. I just posted some screen shots from SG (statsguru).

The analysis is for you guys to do.... and most posters are doing great job of doing that........ except a few who want Mohammad Asif to be called best T20 batsman by removing any arbitrary qualifications.

.

you committed another blunder:

Qualification 10 innings and symonds appears at top.

Note:arbitrary qualifications devalues the result and conclusion just become meaningless.

Read my post again. I said ten MATCHES ... not 10 innings. You need bifocals, my friend!!

you committed another blunder:
.

No... I did not. you are just blind and can not read as usual ...... specially when you are mad/upset/angry! )
Just as you could not read/see the "qualification" on the title of the list I posted the other day. If your memory is as bad as your eyesight, then here it is;

nice effort yar , am not a stats man ....but that kept me interested all thru.

 

[Black Zero]

Why I am not surprised that you failed the test of having minimum cricketing sense.

You are being declared unfit to set any sort of qualification...

so long.

W63L35 I predicted this last night.

 

[KSaeed]

Some great stats. This decade really was dominated by Australia and Ponting without a shadow of a doubt. Pontings got a Win/Loss ratio more than 3??!! That's unbelievable!!
