Strike Rate : Part IV

Hat Trick Ball upon arrival 

"He knows the vagaries of this Pitch " 

[size=18pt]SHIV HAS SOLD HIMSELF SHORT IN TEST CRICKET[/size]


* You look at that 69 ball hundred against Australia, at the time, the 3rd fastest test hunded, and you know Shiv is capable of being dominant. Yet over his long and illustrious career Shiv has chosen to be defensive.

* HERE ARE THE NUMBERS.

* In 157 tests Shiv has faced 26,517 balls---only Dravid, Tendulkar, Kallis and Border have faced more balls than Shiv in tests.

* Shiv has scored 11,499 runs off those 26,517 balls---that is a STRIKE RATE (11,499/26517) of 43.33

* CHECK THIS:

Quote:[size=12pt]* If Shiv had scored 2 more runs from every 100 balls he faced----in other words, if his STRIKE RATE were 45.36 instead of 43.36----Shiv would have had 12,028 test runs by now.[/size]

* YOU SEE THE MAGIC OF NUMBERS KETCHIM ?

* Most cricket fans are illiterate when it comes to the mathematics of cricket. All they can do is ARGUE based on emotions.
