Re: Dukes vs.Kookaburra

During the Harper era, West Indies bowling average was 33.00.  From 2003 to 2010, the era in which I believe the West Indies still used the kookaburra (please correct me if I am wrong on this), their bowling average was 43.00. From 2011 until now, they averaged 34.42.

From 1980-1989, bowling average : 25.96
From 1990-1999, bowling average: 29.37

I was unable to find strike rates in order to compare them but will keep digging and see if I can come up with anything more.

Sweet work Dilly !! 

Wonder IF poster Mail listening to Bish commentary on the BALL :

Bish prefer the Dark red vs the bright red ...(I like the bright red) 

Bishop versus ketchim :  ::LOL::

Despite trawling through the usual websites that provide customised stats, I was unable to find any that offer the ability to find team strike rates for select periods of times. However, I was able to sort by individual bowling strike rates over these periods. It's not quite what I was hoping for, but better than nothing.

The first graphic shows the strike rates for bowlers using the kookaburra between 2003-2010:



The second graphic shows the strike rates for bowlers using the duke ball from 2011 to date:



Minimum criteria is 5 wickets taken. Overall, bowlers with the duke ball have had more success. With the kookaburra, 10 bowlers had a strike rate under 80 in 7 years, whereas 14 bowlers have a strike rate under 80 in just under 4 years with the duke ball.
