Rather than average against an opposition, average in a condition probably matters more right ?GroupingMat Inns NO Runs HS Ave BF SR 100 50 0 4s 6s

Its actually not that bad @Varun.
Average of 43(eng), 41(ind) 9!(nz), 57(pak), 6!(SA) and 31(Sri)
Has only poor return against nz and sa, and that will change once he plays more matches there.
ODI Cricket Draft: Skills vs MJJ
- Thread starter Akshay
- Start date
I'll stick with it.Draft wise, yeah. Am having a general discussion about maxwell's ability with varun though.
Aah, carry on then.
It's naive to say nobody else will score. Astle has like 16 hundreds and Attapattu and flower too are very good batsman. Attapattu is also playing at home. So that will be an advantage too. And Azhar has once scored a 100 off 60 balls and he is playing in subcontinent too
What sort of player is samuels ?
Pick your toys up ffs, I voted for your team long back
I'm not sure how scoring runs against India is relevant. Ponting has probably scored a feck load against terrible Indian attacks. I mean which cnut hasn't?!?
Anyway, with Smith, Lara and Pietersen in the middle order Maxwell will be lucky if he get's to bat.
And with that I'm really out. Not fair on skills.
Suffers from Misbah-itus way too many times.
I'l raise my hand up and admit I haven't read any of the stats you've posted so far.
Yes, we really are the team that helps batters get back on form
I was just saying he's had too short a career and scored a bulk of his runs vs 2 shit attacks to be compared to the likes of sehwag. You can stay and talk ffs. People aren't sheep to simply vote for you because 2 of you are here.
When do you ever do that!
Whaaat? But they are a game changer! Havent you being reading @Donaldo posts?
I said wont score a lot, thats based on their runrate. You have to remember that the average score nowadays is 300 and you need a couple of players to play at a quick rate to get that.
One off events dude, dont count for a lot. As for the rest, yeah they are good but I think mine are better and score at a quicker rate.
I just don't think he's a particularly good bowler. He mostly has his record because of good performances on seamer-friendly wickets in Australia against an Aussie team in transition. Smith, Lara and Pietersen will milk him in the middle overs and relieve any pressure the likes of Kapil Dev and Saqlain are able to build.
Guilty as chargedWhen do you ever do that!
I want a proper discussion, stats can go feck themselves. Ha!
@Samid, I've seen that. Epic that was. All started with Root.

In football draft, the usual etiquette is that either a manager talks or the AM. Not both at the same time. Although given @Skills participation, it would be better if me and akash had an argument over who will win
Wait for Monday Budweiser, that will be all discussion and a little stats.Guilty as charged

He's just saying you should be careful about the stats you post man, nothing wrong in it. It's an easy typo to make though so I'm not sure why it's such a big deal.
I'm voting for MJJ. He showed some real initiative in using bogus stats to gain a pecuniary advantage and his comment of Maxwell > Sehwag is the only thing that's made me chuckle all day

Yeah I'm aware but football draft is way too serious business. This is fun and I wouldn't want @Akash unable to post what he wants just because he happens to share a team with you. He has spent time building the team after all.In football draft, the usual etiquette is that either a manager talks or the AM. Not both at the same time.

Love you too brews <3
Its the wolf in me, lynch skills!
Yeah, @Akash double team for the win!!
Yeah I got his point, but the way he kept harping on it deserved some teasing in return!

I'm assuming Pringle will be the second change (after Ntini, Dev, Bishop), so in which case, it's more likely that he will bowl alongside Saqlain. Wouldn't that change matters. Players will be tempted to go after him and judging by his average, there's a good chance he may get atleast 1 wicket or 2.
I'm going to be busy in a WW game Sunday night onwards which means i'l probably have only 75 posts in the match threadWait for Monday Budweiser, that will be all discussion and a little stats.
Who the feck is Pringle btw?
Derek Pringle has only played 44 matches so that's Skills disqualified.

Its chris, so good that his name doesnt even come up when you google pringle cricketer

I doubt it. The only batsmen whose wicket he's taken with any regularity has been Inzamam. He's been awful against the top batsmen he played regularly, like the Waugh brothers, Jayasuriya, Border, Gooch etc. He just takes easy wickets and there won't be many in this match.
I had to do the same thing. It was like at the bottom of the page.Its chris, so good that his name doesnt even come up when you google pringle cricketer

How do you check something like that? Most dismissals etc ?
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...ate=results;type=bowling;view=batsman_summary
Bowling summary, then change view from career summary to batsman dismissed.
The highlight of his profile is that he admitted to tampering with the ball in a Test match against Pakistan, because he was convinced your lot must be doing it too.Its chris, so good that his name doesnt even come up when you google pringle cricketer

Oh, thanks MJJ.
I found it strange that people were picking players just based on numbers and now I see the writeups are full of numbers.The worst thing is that the first line of MJJ's writeup says Fleming had an average of 37.5 and a SR of 75 , he is a player I had checked well so was sure those numbers were false and it turns out that his average was 32 and SR 71 .
