The thing with that is, its been used to make fun of Clarke. When in fact its about the same as matt prior. Its also the 2nd best success rate on that list (by a mile as well). Unless I'm missing something?

It actually makes me think of an interesting point about DRS, the batting side actually has a lot less information available to them than a fielding side, the batsman basically has to rely on their teammate at the other end who is on a bad angle for decisions. Whereas the fielding side has a lot more players, the keeper and the bowler of which as both in better positions to judge than an opposite batsman. 

Wouldn't actually mind seeing similar stats with bowlers, to see if the success rates are higher and back my theory up.
