AUS Vs India THIRD TEST Statistical Analysis

A bit late on the recaps for this. Been away for Christmas


India with the win this time, again on the dual quality of Pujara with the bat, Bumrah with the bowl and the addition of Agarwal who is a bit of a find.


Agarwal, statistically had the best z-score with the bat. Here is the list of quality z-scores


MA Agarwal (India)   Zscore: 2.19
CA Pujara (INDIA)  Zscore: 1.85
V Kohli (INDIA)  Zscore: 1.16
PJ Cummins (AUS) Zscore: 1.11
RR Pant (INDIA)  Zscore: 0.88
RG Sharma (India) Zscore:0.77
SE Marsh (AUS) Zscore: 0.62


Pretty much says it all. When your best bat is a bowler, you are in all sorts of trouble.


On the shit list, we have the usual Finch, who is clearly not TEST calibre, and the regrettable Marsh brother who should be finally banished to the shield.


GH Vihari (INDIA)   Zscore: -0.578116636
MR Marsh (AUS)   Zscore: -0.635278731
AJ Finch (AUS)   Zscore: -0.863927108
RA Jadeja (India)   Zscore: -0.921089203
NM Lyon (AUS)  Zscore:  -0.978251297
JR Hazlewood (AUS)  Zscore: -1.178318627
JJ Bumrah (INDIA)   Zscore: -1.178318627
I Sharma (INDIA)   Zscore: -1.178318627
Mohammed Shami (INDIA)  Zscore: -1.178318627


In the bowling, again Bumrah grabs the chocolates and Cummins finally showed some class after some lacklaster performances in the first and second tests. Only the two bowlers were bothering the scorers with the Z-score


JJ Bumrah  (INDIA) Zscore:  2.048813214
PJ Cummins (AUS) Z-score:  1.662308191


Lyon had a piss poor game when the Wicket wasn't really doing much for the spinners. But 1 wicket for 150 runs is not a good return. And the part timers were dominated, and I am including Marsh in that list.

NM Lyon (AUS)  -0.707066702
GH Vihari (INDIA)  -0.89457119
MR Marsh (AUS) -0.89457119
AJ Finch (AUS( -0.89457119


For those of us on Starc watch, Starc had his worst game of the series, with a Z-score of -0.32. Think Warnie must be in his head.
