Got dropped for the ODI series ,based on test performances.:(

What are my stats like?
Your Test spot's safe - 571 runs at 51.9.

ODI less so, average of 34 but strike rate of 64. Was trying to see what I could do to score quicker at the start of an innings.

Trouble is, the awesome has only come once (it was pretty awesome, though).

Thanks.

Need to score quicker in the ODI'S though. I am guessing around 70 would be par as the matches have been a bit low scoring?

Yeah, 75 would be good in this. Dropping you was harsh, but you were the slowest-scoring and I wanted to try a few things.

Yep, I'm terrible in this.

Test match average of 38 isn't good enough, and 26 opening the batting in ODIs is just pathetic.

1st Test vs Pakistan

(I had an entire match report typed out, but annoyingly lost it when my connection done goofed. The condensed version is if one batsman has scored 7 ****ing more runs we'd be fine. Heroic stuff from Smiley and Morgie though, whose 4th innings hundred was a marathon 400-ball effort.)

2nd Test vs Pakistan

Going into the second Test of Pakistan's three-test tour, CW made two changes. Corrin replaced Hing and VVS Noble (in the midst of a domestic season where he had taken 45 wickets at 20) replaced SS Dong. Once again Pakistan won the toss and batted.

Things started badly for the home side as only two wickets arrived in the first two session, Pakistan racking up over 200 runs for two down by tea. Taufeeq Umar and Mohammed Yousuf doing the damage with hundreds.

However, things turned back to CW's liking in the evening as Capone fought back. Once Dean had removed Inzamam, Capone snared four more wickets to complete successive five-fors, finishing the day with the wicket of Younis. Winne had also bowled Anjum, meaning that Pakistan closed what should have been a successful day on 331/8.

Capone was not done, however, and finished off the innings himself on the second morning, claiming his best ever figures with 7-70. The CW reply began emphatically, with Heads and Narang compiling their 135-run opening partnership. Both were back in the hutch in quick succession, as Heads was run out the first ball after Narang edged behind, but Ballich and Riley - after a positive 41 from Spark - saw CW to the close in control on 281/3.

The control was short-lived as a flurry of wickets fell on third morning. Saqlain ran riot with seven wickets as the home side collapsed, and had to settle for their paltry lead of 22.

Soon, however, the collapse seemed like a minor inconvenience as the wickets continued to tumble. Winne did the earl damage from first change, picking up Pakistan's top three before the tea break as the tourists went to the break at 50/3.

That just left the door open for Dean to spin his way through the order, collecting five wickets as Pakistan folded. When Corrin took out the last two in successive balls, CW had all but won. 82 all out was the score and 61 the target - which CW's openers knocked off with ease.

CW won by 10 wickets
