By Starting My Cricket Stats Deep Dive
So yesterday I’m scrolling through cricket forums when this question pops up: “Who’s better – Mohammed Siraj or Mahipal Lomror?” Got me thinking… how do you even compare these guys? Bowler vs all-rounder, different roles. Figured I’d dig into their official stats myself.
First things first, grabbed my laptop around coffee time. Went straight to the cricket stats site I usually trust. Typed in “Mohammed Siraj stats” real slow because keyboard was sticky from breakfast crumbs. Page loads – boom! Red balls everywhere, that’s Test cricket stats. Saw immediately he’s got over 50 Test wickets now. Remembered watching him destroy Sri Lanka last year.
The Data Hunting Process:
- Opened another tab for Mahipal Lomror – kept spelling his name wrong twice
- Realized I need different filters since Lomror bats more in T20s
- Scribbled down Siraj’s economy rates on scrap paper
- Noticed Lomror’s IPL strike rate first – 133! Had to double-check that
- Nearly choked seeing Siraj’s best ODI figures: 6/21 against Sri Lanka
Started making little comparison notes like this:
Siraj – bowling machine! Tests: 56 wickets @ 28.4. T20s: economy under 7. Death over specialist.
Lomror – explosive bat! IPL strike rate 133+. Domestic average 44. But international chances? Hardly any.
What Jumped Out At Me
Honestly didn’t expect Lomror’s domestic numbers to be that solid. Meanwhile Siraj… man, that ODI bowling figure still blows my mind. Printed both their career stats side by side. Held papers in each hand like some cricket scales. Conclusion? Weird comparison. Like asking if brakes or accelerator are better parts.
Whole thing took three coffees and one angry cat interruption. Clearest insight? Stats show both deliver when their teams need them – just completely different ways. Might do player comparisons more often, but only same-role players next time.
