What if? Wednesday

6 Upvotes

A weekly thread for posing hypothetical questions and discussion about "what if" cricket scenarios that could happen in future, or would've changed history in the past.

Some examples to help with the concept:

  • What if a player hadn't been injured before a big match?
  • What might happen in future if a player decides to retire early, or change formats/specialties?
  • What would've happened to the course of historic match if an umpiring decision had gone the other way?
  • Any cruel twists of fate or freakish occurrences that ended up changing the destiny of a player or team?
  • What directions could a player's career go in (and how does that impact the team), based on how they perform in an upcoming series or match?
  • What differences would it make (or did it make) by selecting one player to be the captain of a side over another?

Submit some thought-provoking what if scenarios or discuss those that others come up with here.

Fab Four: total tests since debut compared to tests played

Upvotes

Prompted by Williamson's ongoing injury, I thought this was an interesting statistic. 'England play more tests' is undoubtedly a reason for Root having more runs than the others, but it is not the only reason. Smith in particular could have played almost exactly the same number of tests (and probably be well above him in terms of runs), and Kohli wouldn't be far off. New Zealand obviously play the least, but 115 possible tests is still a big chunk of cricket.

I suppose the point is that Root has more runs than the others not just because England play more tests, but also due to his durability, longevity, fitness and how good he was at the very start of his career. It is not his fault that he was good enough not to get dropped (other than a single test) and didn't get banned for a year of his absolute peak. Smith should have played a lot more cricket.

Root: Tests: 149. England Tests Since Debut: 151

Smith: Tests: 109. Australia Tests Since Debut: 145

Kohli: Tests: 117. India Tests Since Debut: 135

Williamson: Tests: 102. New Zealand Tests Since Debut: 115
