How is it possible for a team to be this bad?

We are loving up everything there is to gently caress up simultaneously.

edit: Buchanan and the quality of our domestic cricket are the big ones I think.

THE BIG BIRD


e: Question for people who play cricket properly/competitively: How sensitive are you to feeling an edge? If you knick it, even the faintest edge, do you always feel it in your hands?

You usually know if you hit it but not always. Hitting the ground or your pads/feet around the same time as the edge is usually why, or if it's a really faint one.

He's the one guy that actually is gutless. Even Chris Martin tries to get in line with the ball and stick around for the other guy. I'd call for Patel to be moved down to 11 but with any luck he'll never play for us again.

If he plays in the Auckland test I'm going to make a bit of a scene. :keke:

I think if you look back at the last few years year or so you'll find that he is.

ODI's since December 2010: batting average 44.08, SR 85.04 bowling is not so good (although sub 5 economy rate in the past year) but he isn't a bowler these days.
T20s in the same period: 23.53 average, 124.39 strike rate.

Given how poor we've been over that time, yeah he is one of our best limited overs players.

He had one really good series against India at the end of 2010 where he made 72*, 98* and 17* and almost everything else has been total poo poo. In the two years and 21 matches since he's averaged 28 and managed one half-century.

Who would you rank above him in the current squad for recent performances?

Over the last two years, just running down the last team list:

Guptill averaged 39 with 9 half-centuries and 1 century.
Nicol averaged 34 with 2 half-centuries and 2 centuries.
Watling averaged 57 with 4 half-centuries.
Williamson averaged 35 with 3 half-centuries and 1 century.
McCullum averged 40 with 4 half-centuries and 2 centuries.
Taylor averaged 49 with 3 half-centuries and 3 centuries.

So everyone.

Makes the Indian position on DRS seem a lot more reasonable.

India's stated problem is with hawkeye predicting the path of the ball which has nothing to do with Rauf being a poo poo umpire.
