Why?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Thank you for the spreadsheet, such information would otherwise be lost forever.

 

[Line and Length]

This is readily available elsewhere so I repeat Gob's "Why".

Huh I never knew that Michael Clarke averaged 3,950 away. Must've been incredibly **** at home to be rated as he is.

 

[Coronis]

Huh. Didn’t realise Smith was on 9999 @SillyCowCorner1

Only the second man after Mahela to be dismissed on this score.

Question based on it though, will either Smith or Khawaja move higher up the rankings?

How did Geoff Marsh play that many tests averaging 33? See also: Mitchell and Shaun.

He was the ultimate team player and vice captain

Selectors are idiots

 

[Prince EWS]

Selectors are idiots

To be fair he averaged 3,297 away from home.

Marsh was very dour as a Test batsman, his strike rate was 35.13 yet in ODI cricket his strike rate was 55.93 and his ODI average was 39.97.

I don’t think you appreciate how bad Aus was in the mid-80s. Then just when they started to get good, his already pretty ordinary record fell away pretty badly.

I remember when he got dropped for the WACA test of the 91/92 series vs India. Border cracked the shits massively and stayed behind to give a spray to the selectors in person for dropping him. Can’t have been great for his replacement, Wayne Phillips (the Victorian one, so kind of doesn’t matter, but still).

he was the longest serving VC under Border. Every vice captain he had got dropped at some point.

He was probably an average player in an average team in what was an average era for Australian cricket.

Maybe the vice captains weren’t the problem
