Australia’s Scott Boland touches new high in his career post Sydney Test, check details

Live Mint  

Pat Cummins-led Australia cricket team regained its hold on the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2025 after a gap of 10 years, but this could not have been possible without their ace pacer Scott Boland. Boland, who took 10 wickets at Sydney Test – four in the first innings and six in the second – touched a new high in his career, securing the best bowling average in men's Test cricket since the days of first World War, Wisden reported. Boland's Test average is the eighth-best overall in Test history and the best since the first WW among bowlers with a minimum of 50 wickets to his name in the format. The best-ever bowling average belongs to England's George Lohmann, who took 112 wickets in 18 Tests from 1886 to 1896 at an average of 10.75, as per Wisden. Betty Wilson of Australia tops the bowling average charts among women players with 50 Test scalps, having taken 68 wickets in 11 Tests at an average of 11.80.
