Extra Extra

It seems to me that our team is the only one organizing "Big Sale" events in cricket "you score 3, we give you 1 free". Even against Namibia, the second highest score was "Extras". Total score = 84 out of which 17 was extras, meaning 67 was batting score.

Anyone knows other teams competing with Pakistan in this field? Other statistics?

Australia gave alot of extras against both Pakistan and India but not as much as our bowlers do. These extras have been part of Pakistani bowling since the early 90s, nothing to be surprised about.

When you have the most aggressive bowling side then Extras are easy to come by- still no excuse for it.

Yes, its not a surprise that we are giving away so many runs for free, we should bring it to a stop. Against minnows, it lowers our run rate, against top-teams it reduces our chances of restricting opponent to a modest total especially when we are to chase. Against Australia we gave away 31 extra runs, just ignore for the time how much they conceded in extras.

When you have wicket taking bowlers like Shoaib and Wasim, extras will always be around, specially Wasim.
