If any religion requires its adherents to sport a blonde highlighted perm, I think that about wraps it up for God. I refuse to believe a benign deity would suffer such a tonsoril blasphemy.

Just going through the commentary at cricinfo:

Gareth: "One stat which amazes me about AB is that he averages over 70 with the bat in matches when he's the keeper, and under 40 when he's relinquished of that duty. Coincidence, most likely, but an interesting coincidence."

I'd guess "AB as keeper" is a pretty small sample size as of now tho, isn't it?

Interesting anyway. I imagine for all the other players who've had significant keeper/not keeper careers the reverse is true. Is for Stewart and Sanga anyway.

Why do they always make him keep against minnows? Seems utterly pointless. You'd think that'd be a great opportunity to firstly get another keeper some international experience and secondly make sure one of their most important players doesn't get burnt out doing two jobs...

Because they feel that blooding a new batsman is more important than blooding a new keeper. Agree with the second point.
