4 Aug / 2013(166-II)…Current Sri Lankan team requires Arjuna’s Army.

A look at top 5 batsmen’s performance in 3 different eras.

I have used No. of inns (they batted instead of matches)to measure their contribution/involvement in victory. These stats are against all countries(including associate ones)

I was keen on looking at their scoring rate, but lack of availability of all types scoring shots restricted me to look at boundary rate only. Hence focused on primary indices only.

. Its fascinating to see boundary hits for each segment. 1990-2000 era had higher percentile of boundary/100 balls, and 50.00 plus batting average.

The current era (2000-2013) has lower batting average and their boundary/100 balls is not as good as previous era. Especially Jayawardene and Sangakkara who are not able to finish games, yet their volume of runs is more than Ranatunga/ De Silva.
