Bevan was way before my time, and I sadly haven't heard much about him other than people praising him in the sub. He has great stats and Aussies love him but what's his style of play and how iconic was he

So I've heard his name floated around as a good Aussie player but I was 8 when he retired so have no memory of him playing. Looked him up and he has an ODI average of 53 while only having a high score of 108 in a lot of games. Seems really strange to me that not only is that his high score but that I've never really heard of him in that upper echelon as a true great of ODI cricket e.g. Sachins, Sangas, Pontings of this world, especially considering how rare it was to average 50+ in that era.

If I've just been living with my head in the sand don't hesitate to call me a dumb cunt, cheers

I've only had a small interaction with Kris Srikanth who came to my coaching center as he was former local teammates with my coach and he was basically what we see in the commentary box. Full of charisma and enthusiasm. He congratulated me on a wicket during a game we played. I was 12.

Following the recent announcement of Australia and Australia ‘A’ playing a warm-up match prior to this summers Ashes series, I’m having a look at the time two Australian cricket teams faced off in an official competition.

This is a mid-90’s story of cheeky player swaps, parochial supporters cheering against their own national team, and no one rating the Poms: all against the colourful backdrop of pyjama cricket

Cricket:

Cricket is one of the most popular sports Worldwide. Played predominantly in former British colonies, Cricket is a largely Summer sport that see’s elite matches being played in a varied climates, conditions and locales ranging from Karachi to Dublin, from Durban to Providence.

Involving two teams of XI playing against each other, Cricket has developed from humble beginnings since the 1600’s to be a serious world-wide sport involving Googlies and gullys, silly-mid ons and Irish swing, flippers and fine-legs.

In its simplest form involves a 22-yard pitch in the middle of an oval. At one end stands a 'batter,' who protects his/her 'wicket' while holding a bat. The batter protects their 'stumps' from the 'bowler' who sends down 'deliveries' or '[balls](http

I've compiled a list of the Best Runners between the wickets. I've ranked the list on the basis of the Strike Rate of the Batsmen without their Boundary Runs & Balls.

For Eg If a batsman scored 100 Runs of 100 Balls and and hit 9 fours and 4 sixes in the innings then his Non Boundary Balls Strike Rate would be:

= ((Total Runs Scored - Runs from Boundaries) / (Total Balls faced - No of Boundaries Hit)) * 100

= ((100 - 60) / (100 - 13)) * 100

= 45.98

For this list i've taken Batsmen who have scored over 4000 Runs in ODIs against the Top 8 Opposition. Also i have had to consider Stats only since the 1990s since the data for fours and sixes hit before the 1990s is not accurate so considering those Stats wouldn't be correct. Real shame because i feel guys like Sir Vi Richards, Dean Jones, Javed Miandad would have had some good numbers.

So with my Cutoff Criteria there's a total of 78 Batsman that make the list.

First i'm listing them down sorted by their Overall Strike Rate and then i will list the table sorted by the Strike Rate without Boundaries. The First table is for reference to see who makes in the Top 10 of both the tables.
