He's scored another century, also against BangladeshPretty sure it was just one 4th innings chase as well, and he's done nothing since.
In between his matchwinning 200 and more recent 100 against Bangladesh - both actual good innings FWIW - he's averaged 23 and passed 50 twice.
Yeah, it was obviously about his record against better opposition.Meaningless and stupid cricket statistics
I alluded to this in one of the Australia-India threads last night. In cricket there are certain figures that people love to use to prove how good or bad a player is that, if you think about it, don't really prove or tell you anything. My least favourite is the old 'player x only averages y if...www.cricketweb.net

The pitch had flattened out into a highway, but still a good innings either way.Bangladesh at home 4th innings not an easy knock that. I think Shakib wasn't playing but he's hardly murali
neither's pant and it worked for him tbfR.e Mayers he needs to be an attacking number 6. In domestic cricket he made most of his runs at 6, smashing the old ball about.
I don't think he's technically equipped to bat well against a fresh Starc, Hazelwood and Cummins tbh.
Got his quad at the very least.What happened to Cummins did climate change finally get him
Fair. I guess the other issue is Mayers looks out of form.neither's pant and it worked for him tbf
I take massive issue with that. Have you watched them play with the dukes ball by any chance? Our attack is as good as any with the dukes ball. I concede that we are shocking with the kookaburra though.The real test is coming. Saf bowlers with hopefully better wickets for bowling. Windies easily has the worst bowling attack for non bang/zim teams.
Even more to the point, he just doesn't have the sheer talent Pant does.Fair. I guess the other issue is Mayers looks out of form.
2:32 in the morning….Where is @SillyCowCorner1 at 100/0 thought he'd be up early and lapping this up.
