I'd assume his performance would break down like ∫e^(-x^2)dx.

More like a slightly better Qadir than anything else. (24/40 split)

Speaking of Qadir..

1st Qadir 117 @ 35.33
2nd Qadir 119 @ 30.31

(2nd half Qadir has a 25/41 split)

1st Crawley 1251 @ 26.06
2nd Crawley 1648 @ 35.06

From why are they selecting this **** to fulfilling his potential as yet another mediocre English bat of the past 50 years.

1st Bavuma 1716 @ 33.00
2nd Bavuma 2391 @ 41.22

From man South Africa’s batting really sucks post Kallis to wow this awesome little dude led SA to the WTC final.
