    Is Sidebottom the best left-arm seamer in the world?

    By Jonathan Liew 2 months ago, 15 Comments »

    England have won a Test match, so let’s get carried away…

    Here’s a list of the best left-arm seamers in Test cricket since 2000, with a qualification of 2000 balls.

    1) Franklin (NZ) 76 wkts @ 28.2
    2) Sidebottom (Eng) 45 wkts @ 28.4
    3) Vaas (SL) 223 wkts @ 29.5
    4) Wasim Akram (Pak) 31 wkts @ 30.0
    5) Pathan (Ind) 100 wkts @ 31.4

    Franklin tops the list, but take away two series against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe and he slips to fourth. Do the same to Pathan and his average soars to 44.

    Sidey’s got a long way to go, but he’s definitely got more to his bowling than someone like Vaas, who tends to bore batsmen out these days.
