Think of the three bowlers who have conceded the most runs in their test cricket career.
Are they all fast bowlers or spin bowlers?
The first new player to comment on the website with the correct answer wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.
Conceded the most runs…in an innings? In a match? In a career? Please be more specific.
Good point. Edited.
It looks like he has been polishing the ball on his pants so I say the fast bowlers have the more runs against them.
That’s Anil Kumble.
And he’s a spinner.
The biggest conceders of runs are him, Muttiah Muralitharan, and Shane Warne.
Spinners tend to bowl more overs, and these three are the only ones who have bowled over 40,000 balls.
Also the three highest wicket takers.
So more balls = more runs conceded but = more wickets taken. Coincidence?
Not even a little bit.
