For some reason, which I have never understood, you always seem to think I am having a dig at you when I am not.

I remembered that you said HowSTAT has a lot of errors & assumed they had made another with Younis Khan's progressive aggregrate.

Given my source is exactly the same as yours, you knew the answer. So why ask it the way you did?

Yes, Howstat has some errors (I found some tonight in setting up the next Q).

In this case I simply missed YK (not unusual for me, as you know. Lots of numbers, easy to miss some).

Anywho, at beamer's request, try this one. Similar to the last but for bowlers. I'll give you the last 2.

Warne or Murali for 700.


Actually it’s Murali with 6/54.

Briggs for 50?

Herath is a chance for 100, 200. 250 (for sure), 350 and 400!

It may not be the best but I have fond memories of WAarne taking a cheap 6 for at the SCG to reach 300 wickets. He bowled a young Jacques Kallis to get there.

Looks like Warne for 600. Chuck for 650…

Warne might be a chance at 400.

Any non-spinners in there?

Yes.

Jimmy looks to be 500 and 550.

Yeah, he was my first guess for a seamer…

Just guessing the other obvious ones now… McGrath, Broad, Walsh, Kapil?

Murali 450
