Twenty20 Is A Batsman's Game: Fallacy or Fact?

[Dick Rockett]

I'd rather be stupid than you.

I don't need to reply to Scaly now; you've done it much better than I could ever have.

Probably due to my stupidity

That is interesting. Due to a family member being autistic I try and learn about the subject but didnt know that Aspberger's Syndrome was a related form.

For those that dont know

Selected Characteristics of Asperber's Sufferers
- Narrow interests or preoccupation with a subject Repetitive behaviors or rituals;
- Extensive logical/technical patterns of thought; thought is not a conversational wise as most people.
- Repetitive behaviors or rituals
- Often viewed as eccentric or odd

Always interesting to learn something non-cricket related here.

At least we now have an explanation for the first-chance theory.

There's nothing wrong with FC theory as an interesting point of conversation, it's that Richard takes it seriously and not many other people do.

 

[Richard]

Fine you're just a long way below my level of intelligence then for me to bother wasting much time with, fair enough...

Ignore-list material if there EVER was some...

 

[Richard]

Let's all just get along now.

Why on EARTH would anyone want to get along with EXD?

 

[Richard]

At least we now have an explanation for the first-chance theory.

You've had 1,000,000 of them before.

 

[Richard]

You've completely missed the point.

Ignore-list material, that, surely... can't have this missing your points...

I was just looking at the strike rate of batsmen in Twenty20 Cup in 2006 Summer and shocked to see how batsmen who wouldn't last two overs in any other form of cricket were having strike rate in 100s and averaging 40s.

There were 17 of them.

Included in those 17 were White, Langer, Hemp, D Hussey, ten Doeschate, Hick, Yardy, Lehmann and Irani.

None of those are that bad a batsman.

4 of the others were players who made it through not outs more than anything else: Ambrose, Newman, Khan and Adnan.

That just leaves Trott, Sales and Walker...

None of them are bad, but would they average in the forties as a Test cricketer?

"any other form of cricket"

There's more than just domestic Twenty20 and Tests...

Yes, but I always suspected it must have been something medical...

Thank you, that clarified my point nicely

Well it wasn't...
