NZ batting (is a joke)
Matthew Bell despite averaging over 100 in domestic cricket this summer now has the following test scores...
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 15, 15, 19, 20*, 23, 25, 26*, 28, 29, 40, 75, 83, 105, 107.
The red scores are his comeback scores from this season after a 7 year absence.
In his career as an opener he has been dismissed after facing this many deliveries 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 11, 13, 20, 24, 24, 25, 29, 35, 37, 43, 47, 47, 72, 74, 79, 88, 96, 97, 133, 163, 180, 184, 224,
So he's been dismissed 22.5% of the time in the 'first over'.
I guess what I am trying to get at here is that he should not tour England because if he does he will average 20 (if he's lucky, and that will be balls faced not runs) and will contribute strongly to the inevitable 3-0 series defeat.
Another one who will go but perhaps should not is Jamie How.
Test scores of 0, 0, 0, 4, 7, 8, 9*, 11, 11, 26, 33, 37, 39, 44, 92 averaging 22.92.
That's one meaningful contribution from 14 completed innings.
Taylor is a little better but will need to step up massively in ol' blighty.
Test scores of 2, 4, 6, 8, 15, 17, 53, 55, 120 averaging 31.11.
That's just not good enough. One meaningful contribution, two decent ones and six failures.
Once Fleming (39.92) goes our best average will be Sinclair but there's no way on this fucking earth or any other one that he should go. He averages 33.10.
So we could have a graphic come up on screen showing our teams batting averages which has Taylor as our best batsman averaging 31.11. I think the English will shit themselves laughing. Thanks Bracewell for forcing Fleming into retirement. You are a bona fide %^&*$#%.
