The problem here is all batsmen know he and and Ashwin bowl more good than bad balls, Bishoo on the other hand bowl mostly bad balls without varieties! I hope you nah start this thread to justify Bishoo shit bowling today? cool

but that you raise the issue

you'd be surprised to know that Bishoo's economy rate in ODIs is 4.6 and Zampa's 5.5

after 26 and 25 ODIs respectively

but that's not the point

Very quietly you are coming around and post exactly what I was thinking? Sometimes it's better to look at history in its fullness and not dat sample you posted!

A more useful statistical tool for evaluative purposes would be the product of strike rate and econ rate.

The reason being wicket taking ability is also important.

It is:
Bishoo 197.
Zampa 152.

The lower figure gets the nod.

Captains don't mind giving away a few extra runs for wickets.
