Surely poor play should count twice as much when it's against a woeful side like Bangladesh?And has now dismissed ABdeV for his first ICC-recognised Test duck. I wouldn't count it as it's against Bangladesh, but obviously that means he loses several duckless innings' as well.
The theory is whether someone plays poorly or not is irrelevant, as a win for SA is already guaranteed in 99% of cases. Hence all the irrelevant innings are excluded from any stats.Surely poor play should count twice as much when it's against a woeful side like Bangladesh?
Yeah, but a Test is a Test, and you can't say Bangladesh are worthy of being classed a Test team when a player fails against them but not when he succeeds.Surely poor play should count twice as much when it's against a woeful side like Bangladesh?
I'm not really TBH. It's just it (unfortunately) applies very often. I always like to mention, whenever Bangladesh are involved in anything, that I don't consider them Test-class. People already deliberately selectively read what I write about first-chance scores so they can accuse me of double-standards, hypocrisy, selectivity of my own, etc.; I don't give them the chance on the Test\ODI-class team matter.The theory is whether someone plays poorly or not is irrelevant, as a win for SA is already guaranteed in 99% of cases.

Wouldn't go so far as to apply it in this case though. Dicko's just on the lookout for an opportunity to hammer home one of his fervently-held opinions (albeit one that i agree with).
Agreed.. About the only other thing me and Richard share, apart from a first name..Wouldn't go so far as to apply it in this case though. Dicko's just on the lookout for an opportunity to hammer home one of his fervently-held opinions (albeit one that i agree with).
