Tried to do some basic plotting for Bangladesh Test performances. 2 charts - one that plots cumulative Batting/Bowling averages and the other runs scored/conceded per 6 ball over.
To see a clear Whatmore effect, one needs to see both charts together. Bowling improvement is fairly obvious, the reason why this is easier to achieve was touched on by Dav himself in his interview. The batting improvement is a little bit more ambigious but is apparent when one looks at both charts. If you look at batting run rate in isolation - this has not increased (so our batsmen are still getting out for small scores). But, you will also notice that batting average has increases - so we have become bette in that respect, this even with Australian/Pak pace attacks. One thing these two charts do nor portray is overs batted per batsman.
