We all know the highest run scorers, highest wicket-takers in international cricket. But there is always a debut about the best Cricketer. There have been many great players in the history of the game. So, we tried to find out who is the best among them. Below are a few stats which will help us is doing so.

We have picked the as per the following guidelines:

1. Highest Run Scorer in International Cricket
2. Highest Wicket Taker in International Cricket
3. Wicket-Keeper with most no. of dismissals in International Cricket

But to rate them, we need to look at a few stats.

Most runs scored by a single batsman in international cricket (Sachin Tendulkar) – 34357

Most wickets were taken by a single bowler in international cricket (Muttiah Muralitharan) – 1347

Most dismissals as a wicket-keeper in international cricket (Mark Boucher) – 1347

∴ Rus to wicket ratio = Runs/Wickets = 34357/1347 = 25.50

∴ 1 Wicket = 25.50 Runs = 1 Rating Point

∴ 2 dismissals as a wicketkeeper = 1 Rating Point (Wicket keeping is a secondary skill)

 

1. Sachin Tendulkar

Runs = 34357 (1347.33 Rating Points)

Wickets = 201 (201 Rating Points)

Total Points = 1548.33

 

2. Muttiah Muralitharan

Runs = 1936 (75.92 Rating Points)

Wickets = 1347 (1347 Rating Points)

Total Points = 1422.92

 

3. Jacques Kallis

Runs = 25534 (1001.33 Rating Points)

Wickets = 577 (577 Rating Points)

Total Points = 1578.33

 

4. Mark Boucher

Runs = 10469 (410.54 Rating Points)

Dismissals = 998 (499 Rating Points)

Total Points = 909.54

 

5. Kumar Sangakkara

Runs = 28016 (1098.66 Rating Points)

Dismissals = 678 (339 Rating Points)

Total Points = 1437.66

Here, we have compared the stats of all 5 players. The player with the maximum rating points is the best cricketer of all time and will get a 5-star rating. (⭐). Remaining players get ratings accordingly.

Top 4 Cricketers of all Time

1. Jacques Kallis – 5 ⭐
2. Sachin Tendulkar – 4.9 ⭐
3. Kumar Sangakkara – 4.6 ⭐
4. Muttiah Muralitharan – 4.5 ⭐

 

We all know the highest run scorers, highest wicket-takers in international cricket. But there is alway a debut about the best wicket-keeper. There have been many great wicket-keepers in the history of the game. So we tried to find out who is the best among them. Below are a few stats which will help us is doing so.

Without any dought, Adam Gilchrist, MS Dhoni, Kumar Sangakkara, and Mark Boucher are at the top of this list. But to rate them, we need to look at a few stats.

(The stats have taken when the player was playing as a wicket-keeper in the team. )

Player		Test	ODI	T20I	Combined
Adam Gilchrist	Runs	5570	9410	272	15207
	100’s	17	16	0	33
	50’s	26	53	0	79
	Dismissals	416	472	17	905
	Dis/Inn	2.178	1.679	1.3	1.865
	Bat Avg.	47.61	35.64	22.67	38.69
MS Dhoni	Runs	4876	10773	1617	17266
	100’s	6	10	0	16
	50’s	33	73	2	106
	Dismissals	294	444	91	829
	Dis/Inn	1.771	1.286	0.92	1.363
	Bat Avg.	38.09	50.58	37.6	44.96
Kumar Sangakkara	Runs	2966	13262	1371	17599
	100’s	6	23	0	29
	50’s	11	90	8	109
	Dismissals	151	482	45	678
	Dis/Inn	1.677	1.365	0.86	1.538
	Bat Avg.	39.55	43.63	31.88	41.7
Mark Boucher	Runs	5515	4680	268	10463
	100’s	5	1	0	6
	50’s	35	26	0	61
	Dismissals	555	424	19	998
	Dis/Inn	1.975	1.462	0.76	1.674
	Bat Avg.	30.3	28.71	17.87	29.06

 

Now let’s consider Runs, Batting Average, Dismissals & Dismissals/Inning to rate them accordingly. We are giving each player points out of 100.

Player	Runs	Bat Avg.	Dismissal	Dis/Inn	Total	Avg.
Adam Gilchrist	84.40	86.05	90.68	100.00	361.13	90.28
MS Dhoni	98.10	100.00	83.06	73.08	354.24	88.56
Kumar Sangakkara	100.00	92.74	67.93	82.46	343.13	85.38
Mark Boucher	59.44	64.63	100.00	89.75	313.82	78.45

Here, we have compared the stats of all 4 players with each other and given them points out of 100. The player with the maximum points is the best wicket-keeper of all time. To make things simple, we will convert these points out of 100 to star (⭐) rating out of 5.

1. Adam Gilchrist – 4.51 ⭐
2. MS Dhoni – 4.42 ⭐
3. Kumar Sangakkara – 4.27 ⭐
4. Mark Boucher – 3.92 ⭐

 

So The Greatest Wicket Keeper of All Time is “Adam Gilchrist”.

The BCCI announced annual players contract which was quite surprising. Though it depends on how much revenue men’s and women’s cricket generate, I still believe woman cricketers should get at least 10% of what men cricketer get. Also, there should be pattern in giving contract to players. Best players who plays all three formats should include in “A+” Grade. Grade “A” should be for those players who performs good in either “Test” or “LOI”. There isn’t much concern about “Grade B” & “Grade C”.

• Only 7 centuries and 48 fifties in 319 international matches (291 innings).
• Not a single 120+ score in international cricket.
• Only 62 wickets in 319 international matches (150 innings).
• Not a single 5 wickets haul in international cricket.

He is not performing in domestic cricket as well. Not only WC19 but also WC20 T20I looks impossible for him now.

LBW is one of the most common type of dismissal in cricket. It is very confusing type of dismissal for fans. So, in this blog we tried to explain it. The batsman is given out LBW if the umpire believes the ball would have hit the stumps if it had not been obstructed by the batsman’s pad or any other part of body except the hand holding the bat. To understand LBW, we must know some basic terms which are as follows:

1. Pitching: Where the ball is pitched i.e., in line, outside leg or outside off.
2. Impact: Where the ball contacted the pad i.e., in line or outside.
3. Wickets: Whether the ball was going to hit the stumps i.e., Hitting or Missing.

 

Situation in which batsman is given not out:

1. If the ball bowled by bowler is a no-ball.
2. If the ball hits the bat before hitting the pad. Even a small inside edge is enough to give a batsman not out.
3. If the ball pitches outside the line of leg stump, even if the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps, batsman cannot be given out. (Pitching: Outside leg)
4. If the ball hits on the pad of batsman outside the line of off stump when he was trying to hit the ball. (Impact: Outside)
5. If the batsman steps out of the crease and the point of impact is in between 250 cm to 350 cm from the stumps and at the same time ball has traveled less than 40 cm after pitching.
6. If the batsman steps out of the crease and the point of impact is more than 350 cm.

 

Situation in which batsman is given out:

1. If the ball hits on the pad of the batsman while pitched in line of the stumps or outside the line of off stump. (Pitching: In line or Outside off)
2. If the ball hits the pad of the batsman outside the line of off stump when he was not trying to hit the ball i.e., leaving the ball.
3. If the batsman steps out of the crease and the point of impact is in between 250 to 350 cm from the stumps and at the same time ball has traveled more than 40 cm after pitching. But in this case, some part of the ball must be hitting the middle stump, and the whole ball must be hitting the stumps below the bails.

 

For giving out LBW, it is important that more than 50% of the ball should,

1. Pitch on the line of the stumps.
2. Hit the pad in front of the stumps.
3. Go on to hit the stumps.

It depends upon the side of the stump’s bowler is bowling.

 

For right-hand bowler,

Round the wicket: Bowler bowling from right side of the stumps.

Over the wicket: Bowler bowling from left side of the stumps.

 

For left-hand bowler,

Round the wicket: Bowler bowling from left side of the stumps.

Over the wicket: Bowler bowling from right side of the stumps.

 

There is a simple way to remember this irrespective of bowler’s handedness i.e., left-handed or right-handed. If bowling arm of the bowler is closer to the stumps, then it is over the wicket. If the bowling are of the bowler is away from the stumps, then it is round the wicket.

We have seen some really good performances from Hong Kong in Asia Cup 2018 who’s ODI status is removed by ICC. On one hand ICC talks about making cricket a global game and on other hand they do almost nothing for betterment of cricket among associate nations. To improve the cricket, ICC must take some steps like when a country among top 9 tours another country, they must play 1 or 2 games against associate as well as new full member countries which are nearby the country they are touring. These games should not consider as only practice games and should have the respective status (Test, ODI, T20) depending upon the team’s status they are playing against (Test, ODI, T20). Some suggestions are as follows:

Tour of	Some games against
England	Ireland, Scotland, Netherland
India/ Shri Lanka/ Bangladesh	Afghanistan, Nepal
Pakistan	U.A.E.
New Zealand/ Australia	Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malesia
South Africa	Kenya, Zimbabwe
West Indies	Canada, Bermuda, USA

Talking about World Cup 2018, there are only 10 teams participating in it and all are the full members of ICC. Even the teams like Zimbabwe and Ireland who have Test Status also not playing in the world cup. With only 10 playing, who can someone call this a World Cup? So, I tried to make a schedule which looks like a World Cup schedule which is as follows:

Considering at least 16 teams should play world cup, we can group them into 4 groups.

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D
Team 1	Team 2	Team 3	Team 4
Team 5	Team 6	Team 7	Team 8
Team 9	Team 10	Team 11	Team 12
Team 13	Team 14	Team 15	Team 16

Teams from each group will play one match against each other. Top 2 teams from each group will qualify for the next round.

Group E (Top 2 teams from Group A & Group B)	Group F (Top 2 teams from Group C & Group D)
Team 1	Team 3
Team 2	Team 4
Team 5	Team 7
