Putting the Uncle's theory to test

Uncle J Rod , in his summation of the first session of the current Test between Australia and the West Indies, wrote

Then Michael Clarke did what Michael Clarke does, fails when he comes in and the score is under 150.
So, with a little help from Statsguru, I ran the numbers

Scores 50 and above

149/4 - 151

234/4 - 91
171/3 - 73
128/4 - 141
100/3 - 91
155/3 - 56
407/4 - 56
257/4 - 124
206/3 - 135*
216/3 - 145
285/3 - 71
139/3 - 73
117/3 - 81
241/3 - 118
199/3 - 110

Scores 25 and below

108/4 - 17
191/4 - 5
101/4 - 17
33/4 - 7
445/4 - 7
71/4 - 1
135/4 - 20
147/4 - 8
146/3 - 8
187/3 - 22
66/3 - 11
186/6 - 7
281/3 - 25
152/2 - 5
101/2 - 5
258/2 - 14*
257/2 - 5
50/3 - 19

5 out of 7 hundreds with the score reading 200 or more.No substantial score when the team score below 100.

The Uncle has a point!

Yours was a bit more thorough than mine, but I did write this the last time this bothered me.

thorough work,

with the batting of the gent of cos.

the post as u say was inspired from Uncle JRod's post.. and in my opinion you could hv taken it further to include his bowling

UJ,

There is Steve Waugh and there is Michael Clarke - NSWelshmen both, but as different as chalk and cheese.

Including their batting :)

Cheers

His part time left arm "spin" does not qualify :)

Your right about them being different, one of them came into one of the worst teams in test cricket and had to fight for everything, the other comes into the best and thinks because he got a haircut and a wife he should be made captain.
