Quarantine Day 23: I compared the career trajectories of Wasim, Waqar and Imran. Three completely different development curves.
Compared the three most popular opening fast bowling partnerships. Quite bizarre how Anderson/Broad never breached the elite 25 line even once over the course of their (very long) careers while the 2Ws stayed below 25 for over 50 tests.
Compared great fast bowlers from past and present. Anderson (thick blue curve) sticks out like a sore thumb. Waqar was head and shoulders above all till his 40th test (thick green curve).
