Quote:Even though Lara has a great aggregate and average.
We did not WIN
I think you're reading the stats wrong. You can't tell who has a better win ratio from those stats.
These are the stats you're looking for:
Gayle has played 269 ODI games and won 109. He has a 40.5 win percentage and averages 51 in those wins.
Gayle has played 269 ODI games and won 63 vs non minnows. He has a win percentage of 28 and averages 40 in those wins.
Lara played 299 ODI games and won 142. He has a 47.5 win percentage and averages 61 runs in those wins.
Gayle's playing in an era in which averages have gone up, batting has been easier and WI play lots of minnows (Zim, Canada, Ireland, Bangladesh, Scotland). A 40 average in WINS is pretty bad for a modern ODI batsman. Marlon Samuels, for example, averages 48 in wins vs non minnows, compared to Gayle's 40.
Generally, your win average should be 20+ runs more than you're career average. Gayle's only goes up by a run or two.
