  • A Comparative Bowling Analysis
    International Journal of Mathematical Education. ISSN0973-6948 Volume 10, Number 1 (2020), pp. 31-39 © Research India Publications http://www.ripublication.com The Spin Quartet of Indian Cricket – A Comparative Bowling Analysis Arjun Tan Department of Physics, Alabama A & M University, Normal, Alabama 35762, U.S.A. Abstract In the 1960s, a quartet of world-class spin bowlers appeared in the Indian cricket scene named Prasanna, Venkataraghavan, Chandrasekhar and Bedi who would excel in both First Class and Test cricket. So close were their bowling figures that debate raged as to who was the best bowler among them. In this paper, the attempt has been made to rank the bowlers according to some mathematical scheme. First, the concept of Other First Class (OFC) cricket is introduced by separating Test matches from all First class matches. Then the bowlers are ranked according to a rank index, which is a positive integer having the values of 1 for the bowler with the highest bowling average, 2 for the bowler having the next highest bowling average, and so on. The rank indices are added for each bowler. The bowler with the highest total rank index takes the first place, the bowler with the second highest total rank index takes the second place, and so on. Based on the total rank indices for OFC and Test cricket, Bedi is ranked first, Chandra and Prasanna are tied for the second place, and Venkat is ranked third. The Test cricket rankings are limited to Prasanna, Chandra and Bedi only. Rank indices are determined when two bowlers played and the third did not; and when all three played in the same matches.
