Would be interesting to know just how well WI bowlers performed overall with the 'Burra' Harper days and after .......... as opposed to previous 'Dukes' Victory Days... but those players were doing County Cricket with a Dukes ball in England and Windies !!!

Numbers guys Rev and Dillinger .... and TriniDaddy ???

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.

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.

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.
