[size=18pt]What percentage of your favorite batsmen's test runs were scored in boundaries(fours and sixes) ?[/size]
EXAMPLE:
* Brian Lara hit 1559 fours and 88 sixes in his test career----that's 6264 runs in boundaries.
* Lara scored 11,953 runs in tests.
* Runs scored in boundaries by Lara = 6264/11,953 = 56.5%
CHECK OUT A FEW OTHERS
66.1% Gayle
56.5% Lara
55.1% Richards
54.3% Tendulkar
45.9% Lloyd
45.0% Chanderpaul
44.1% SWaugh
39.4% Bradman
38.2% Kanhai
38.3% Sobers

OBSERVATION:
[size=12pt]* His HATERS say all Shiv does is prod and poke, but the numbers don't lie folks. Shiv has scored a higher percentage of his runs in boundaries than Sobers, Kanhai, and Bradman[/size]. ;D hahahahaha

Interesting stats, Rev. It looks as though Gayle as a chance of joining Adam Gilchrist as being the only Test batsman to reach 100 sixes.
