not implying they were bad, just that "all were great last year" isn't necessarily correctRobertinho said:Blackman faded at the end of the season, he started off awesome, and 26 & 33 aren't too bad considering the rest of the CW XI. Dubb-Lynch is an FC specialist - he's a keeper and averaging 35 is good in the Dev League. Loc averaged 50 or something in OD, top runscorer, scoring a century in the OD final

One wonders what the aspirations of CW players are if averages in the mid30s are pretty good. If you mean bowling, DeSilva has a Wavell Hinds average. I quoted Dauth because he's the one person there who truly proved an rookie power rubbish.KennyD said:Desilva and Dauth look pretty good there, so does Stedman.
Neither do I, really, but Im in here constantly.Robertinho said:He never posts, anyway...

If you don't, we've got some big troubles. No pressure though.Nnanden said:...and me?
I`ll do my best to turn it around this season.

Of course averaging in the thirties isn't great, but let's be realistic, 1 batsman averaged over 50, 3 over 40, 19 over 30. 30+ is quite good in relative terms. I understand what you mean, and perhaps you're right, with the amount of rookies some are bound to stand out. But the rookies you listed were, in comparison to the rest of the Dev League, very good.Mr Mxyzptlk said:One wonders what the aspirations of CW players are if averages in the mid30s are pretty good.

It must be noted that Cunningham only truly came on with the bat when he played for the A team.
The proportion of rookies to everyone else last season was notable, thus it's no surprise that some of them were among the top performers in some areas. That still doesn't prove any such theory, because I don't see how that is unrealistic.

The way I see it, there were a few experienced players who had a very good season. A couple of those had a brilliant season. There were a bunch of experienced players who had mediocre and a couple of rookies who had a very good season. Then there were a bunch of rookies that had a mediocre season. The fact that the other players who don't fall into these groups had either a poor or very mediocre season doesn't qualify the rookie accomplishments as very good.Robertinho said:Of course averaging in the thirties isn't great, but let's be realistic, 1 batsman averaged over 50, 3 over 40, 19 over 30. 30+ is quite good in relative terms.

Who knows, it's just beginner's luck I suppose.
Each team plays 4 games against each other team.biased indian said:More teams means more games ?

Ah well, I guess you've put more thought into this than me. Hakon, Simon, Timewell, Sangrah dominated in 5D, whereas Chaulk and Blewy dominated in OD.Mr Mxyzptlk said:The way I see it, there were a few experienced players who had a very good season.
