Michael Mason isn't a wicket-taking bowler though, he relies on economy. Much more accruate bowler, even if he doesn't have the pace that Martin has.

I don't, because then people will be under the impression he's good.

Slowing the run rate is far more important in limited overs cricket.

Not going for 60 off ten overs is too.

I never wish any player performs poorly while representing my country but you wouldn't understand that. Just need to look at your avatar

Best way to do that is by taking wickets. Pretty basic stuff we're talking here Perm

No, the best way to do that is by bowling accurately. If you do that then you can end up with wickets. If you bowl waywardly then you might pick up a few wickets, but you'll usually end up going for 50+ runs, which isn't good.

I hope he performs well enough not to hurt our chances of victory but bad enough to get dropped.I never wish any player performs poorly while representing my country but you wouldn't understand that. Just need to look at your avatar

i.e. Glenn McGrath compared with James Franklin.

I don't mind if he plays poorly. I'm hoping that he does, so that the selectors realise he isn't fit to represent us in ODI cricket. Much like how I was hoping Ian O'Brien would get carted in the Test matches.

An economical bowler with a high average, like Daniel Vettori, is of more use in ODI cricket than an expensive bowler with a low average. In saying that, it's not often you get an expensive bowler with a low average, because it would mean their Strike Rate is incredible.

I was meaning McGrath, who is accurate and gets plenty of wickets, compared with Franklin who gets a few wickets but the opposing team get 50 odd runs for those wickets.

It is commonly known that in OD cricket that the best way to slow down the run-rate is to take wickets....and I think you know that but are feeling in a bit of a Richard mood

If you are going to wish that on players in international games when they are playing for your country then that's your prerogative, I guess. I would prefer you saved that for 1st-class games. I want whoever is selected to do well. At times (and particularly now that Bracewell is in charge) I wont agree with the selection but I don't want guys to perform poorly just to prove a point.

I wasnt trying to bag Patel, I think hes a good bowler. I was trying to agree with the point that nz is not a great place for spinners, so a good bowler can average quite a lot here.
For Vettoris one I just looked at the wrong one. Youre right its 32, but cmon, Patels is 39.7 something which is basically 40, not 39.

It just depends on the make up of the attack as a whole. The Aussies are blessed with guys with low averages and are economical, but our teams with mere mortals have to have a balance between both those types of bowlers. You have to have a few wicket takers that you can open up with and bring on at opportune times, and then you need a few economical bowlers if the batsmen start getting away. I think the best balance would be three wicket taking bowlers and two economical ones. ( unless we get some world class guys that can do both)
wicket taker- Bond
WT- Franklin

economical- Mills
E- Vettori

Tait springs too mind, though I suppose we aren't talking about the same calibre of bowler in this case.
