Jamaica: Australian fast bowler Scott Boland scripted history to become the Test bowler with the best bowling average of cricketers since 1915, who have bowled a minimum of 2000 balls in the longest format. Boland achieved this feat in the third Test against the West Indies at Sabina Park, where he recorded the figures of 3-34. His Test bowling average now stands at 17.33, the best of any bowler in the last 110 years of Test cricket (minimum 2000 balls bowled). Only England’s Syd Barnes stands above Boland for bowlers since 1900, with the other six bowlers above Boland all hailing from the 1800s, and in the infancy of Test cricket., ICC reports. Agencies
