To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of "bowling figures" and how they are recorded in cricket.
Bowling figures in cricket refer to the statistical summary of a bowler's performance in a match. They typically include the number of overs bowled, the number of wickets taken, the number of runs conceded, and the average number of runs conceded per wicket.
In this question, we are asked to identify the bowler who has the best bowling figures in a losing cause. This means we are looking for the bowler who performed exceptionally well individually but was unable to win the match for their team.
Let's go through each option to determine the correct answer:
A. SK Warne - This option suggests that Shane Warne has the best bowling figures in a losing cause. However, without specific statistics or context, we cannot determine if this is the correct answer.
B. J Srinath - This option states that Javagal Srinath has the best bowling figures in a losing cause. Without further information, we cannot confirm if this is the correct answer.
C. A Kumble - This option suggests that Anil Kumble has the best bowling figures in a losing cause. Again, without specific statistics or context, we cannot determine if this is the correct answer.
D. DL Vettori - This option states that Daniel Vettori has the best bowling figures in a losing cause. However, without specific statistics or context, we cannot determine if this is the correct answer.
Based on the information provided, the correct answer is B) J Srinath. Please note that it would be helpful to have additional details or statistics to support this answer.
