Yesterday Agnew brought up that Australia have only played once at home so far, and thought that could end up affecting their build up of the legendary "momentum". The only game they've won was against the stand out bad team of the tournament.

So nice of the ICC to have a respectful day of mourning for the English cricket team. Lest cricket, rest cricket.

IceAgeComing posted:Just gonna say this: if the proposed rules for the 2019 World Cup had been used for this one then Bangladesh would have been locked in and New Zealand would have had to have gone through the qualifier with Zimbabwe, Ireland and Afghanistan. Nah, because under the proposed new format the hosts qualify automatically. For instance, England are guaranteed their place in 2019 even though they will 15th in the rankings behind UAE, Namibia and the Solomon Islands by then.

Anyone know why NZ haven't been playing McClenaghan? Milne seems okay, but I've been more impressed with McClenaghan in the past.

General thought seems to be McClenaghan or Boult as both are left arm seamers to open with and take wickets. Given Boult's form it is hard to justify swapping them.

Milne gives us something different whereas Mitch is a not-as-good Boult, and he's a good fielder and decent tail-end bat. It reflects well on the team though that he can't get a game at the moment.

Seems likely that NZ will rest a couple of their bowlers in each of the final two matches, though.

Guys like Milne need to be managed carefully to get the most out of them, and it doesn't hurt to get the guys that have missed out some game time in case they're required. The remaining games for NZ are against Bangladesh and Afghanistan, and the games they'd have pegged as the "big ones" going in are out of the way.

Anywhere to find a graph, or easily plottable data, for ODI scores against year?

Cricinfo has a stats section that you can strip out. I just did some basic stuff and the average amount of runs for an ODI (both teams) in 2013 was 437. In 2014 it was 471. So on average an ODI is seeing a 30 run increase on the year before.

I can't see a way to export the data, and cricinfo loves to freeze up any browser I use for about 10 seconds every other 10 seconds.

It reflects well on the team though that he can't get a game at the moment. I'm not sure Milne's fielding has quite gotten enough credit for why they pick him yet - he took a good diving catch against England, but he's also capable of things like this.

Ross Taylor has hit about two good innings all summer and his fielding has been a bit poo poo - Milne's not really the weakest player in the squad right now either way.

The remaining games for NZ are against Bangladesh and Afghanistan, and the games they'd have pegged as the "big ones" going in are out of the way. I wouldn't count on it, with a week between games if someone is rested that means they go 2 weeks without playing which is not ideal at all. Pre tournament Shane Bond was quite clear about once they settle on their 4 bowlers they will not be rotated so I'd expect the same seam attack v Afghanistan & Bangladesh. Vettori may get a rest in the final game seeing as he's an old man but that's about all I'd expect.

For the most part Taylor has looked awful lately, but it's testament to him that even in poor form he's scratched out runs. His catching however has been terrible.

The Deadly Hume posted:Yep. And also slogging skills honed from playing T20 etc. I was watching a replay of Chris Gayle's 200 yesterday and this was insane, I don't think he hit a single boundary on the off side. Every shot was just a slog swipe over midwicket or a lofted on drive edit; 157 leg side, 58 off side, including 15 of his 16 sixes

Ross Taylor has looked poo poo but that's in comparison to how he's been in the past. Before Williamson emerged Ross by far and away our best and most reliable batsman. He's still good but I don't think he's ever going to be as influential as he once was. Also as far as rotating I would keep the batting line up as is (Latham has shown me nothing to suggest he's close to pushing for a place) but would give Nathan McCullum a run against the Afghans along with McClenaghan for Dan and Boult respectively. Mills should be given a run for Milne for one of those games too I think.

Wandle Cax posted:This might help you, Ross Taylor's ODI batting statistics this season: average 51.16, strike rate 82.74, 2 centuries, 3 fifties. And if you take out the scores he made against Pakistan because they're horseshit, that SR drops to 67. Look I'm not doubting he's a good player, but his form against anyone but Pakistan has been average. He manages to stay at the crease for a while in terms of time, so you could argue he's still halting the momentum from lost wickets, but he's just not scoring many runs for a player that has performed as well as he has done previously.
