***Official*** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2015

[OverratedSanity]

Taylor has scored 601 runs this year of which almost half the runs have come from the one innings.

filtered 8 15 1 601 290 42.92 825 72.84 1 1 3 86 1

If you take the 290 out, Taylor has only scored 311 runs from 14 innings with 1no. That's an average of only 23.92. Simply not good enough for a top order batsman.

So if you don't count the big scores, your average goes down. Good to know.

I propose we should discount all of Sehwag's 200+ scores. Would bring his average down to appropriately hackish levels.

Will we be 123/5

+1. Thought he looked promising visiting here last year, good to see some progression.

He's got his pace up which is great but what is really impressive about him is his ability to bowl to plans. This is what makes the difference. His line and length have been excellent which have helped Mathews set traps for the NZ batsmen.

Stop being silly. The point I am making is he has played poorly aside from the one innings.

 

[straw man]

I had hoped fixing that eye problem with Taylor might lead to a little more consistency. That story was almost too perfect though.

Really needs some runs next innings.

Ross is Boss. That is all. No further correspondence will be considered by the powers that be.

And his point is that discounting that innings just because it doesn't fit your broader narrative is even sillier.

So did I :-(

OMG! Am I seeing this right?! McCullum is 7 from 33!!!

No it's not. That's an even sillier thing to say.

Telephone call for JonBrooks - it is ringing a couple a blocks away from your computer.

Ignoring one of the best knocks by a touring batsman in Australia because you think besides that the batsman is playing poorly is just insanity.

Taylor is still scratchy, he is not at his best but the guy clearly still has it.

Gee. I hope you quiet down on Boult then. He bowled well in Adelaide after all....

Hurricane in good form today

Damn wasn't fast enough. They hung up just as I picked up the receiver!

Not that surprising that even imaginary people can't be ****ed hearing what you have to say.
