26th Match, Pool A: Australia v Afghanistan - AUSTRALIA WON BY 275 RUNS

[Twizzle]

Nobody is doing that - are you suggesting that test form, a 100 against the Afghans and Warne's opinion makes Warner the world's premier ODI opener?

that's a pretty poor assumption, but typical

it's on record here that I dont value Warnie's hype, but carry on

Best thing about the game last night was seeing Watson wearing the reserves red bib

this X 100

 

[Twizzle]

Mcullum is the epitome of average,less ODI Centuries than both Finch and Watson and a way worse average than both,both of the Aussie's mentioned are complete donkey's also.

More embarrassing than Shane Warne and James Brayshaw combined these Kiwi's.

and stats can be misleading if you are going to cherry pick them

his recent form to me suggests that he is better than his career stats or whatever stats you want to play with

we haven't seen him on any of our big grounds in Oz yet and that will be interesting to see how he goes on the much bigger grounds, not as easy to clear the boundaries here but no doubt he will try, be good to watch if he does

I already proved this wrong though,averages 32 in past 20 ODI innings(only just above his career average of 30)

He's the same average player he has always been.

 

[Twizzle]

You won't prove anything by reproducing certain stats, at least not to me anyway.

When his career is over we may be able to look back at his career stats, but they wont predict the future.

You're completely failing to consider the impact of some of those innings.
He didn't score big like Warner's 178, but he really got several innings going and put immense pressure on the opposition.

If he keeps giving us starts the way he has, I'm happy for his average to be relatively low.
It's really the rest of the top order's role to rack up the volume of runs.

 

[Red Bear]

Mccullem average is closer to 33 than 32 in those last twenty, but no point talking about his average without mentioning his strike rate, 128.45, compared to his career of 93.

Average only tells half the story in ODI cricket especially.

His test performances have been pretty reasonable in the last 6-7 years, especially without the gloves

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Shane Watson averages 45 opening the batting in ODI's from 93 innings with 7 100's and 25 50's

Brendan Mcullum averages 34 opening the batsmen in ODI's from 92 innings with 4 100's and 17 50's

Nothing misleading about these stats,92 innings and 93 innings is very comparable.


NZ your hero is a worse batsmen that Twatto,have a nice day and God Bless.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Can we all agree then that Amla's 20 centuries in 108 innings is absolutely remarkable.

At a S/R over 90.

f**k Off.. It's Kiwi bashing time, gimp.

Today we have established with facts and scientific evidence with years of testing from the Worlds's leading experts that Mcullum is worse than Warner,Finch and Twatto and you Sir are worried about this Amla bloke,Good Day Sir,Good Day.

 

[JJ]

and yeah, Amla's record is astonishing...

 

[Red Bear]

Watson should never have been moved from opener in the ODI's, he was very good there. But Finch got shot and scored too may runs to be moved, and you pick player like Warner because he really can win you a game. Watson at three and barely bowling has just been no good at all.

 

[Dutchy]

Watsons last 20 = 33.45 - 2 centuries.

Conclusion - McCullum is super shit.

[Mr Angry]

imagine if that ball hit the kid on the head....that could've killed the poor fella

Poor form from those sitting around him

Warner gave him a set of gloves..

Great win by us last night. Very sorry about the ball hitting the kid, but he loved the gloves I gave him. Get well soon buddy.

Haynetrain- serious question- do you have some sort of intellectual geniusation?

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol this thread finally got interesting.

 

[Meth]

If you leave a monkey with a typewriter, he'll eventually type the entire works of Shakespeare. In Haynetrain's case, if you leave a genius with a computer, he'll eventually figure out how to use Cricinfo. However, as tends to be the case, you can spot somebody who doesn't really understand the sport they're making comment on by their use of stats. There are some fairly accomplished wankers around here, but Haynetrain has his hand bloody glued to his c**k.

McCullum v Warner as an opening bat. Fair debate, that one. Both play different roles, and both do it very well. Both entertaining. Both aggressive.

 

[Twizzle]

Haynetrain- serious question- do you have some sort of intellectual geniusation?

Can I answer on his behalf ?

An overwhelming YES

 

[Meth]

Haynetrain, remember last week when you tried to use career stats to say that Trent Boult was a terrible ODI bowler, minutes after he had cleaned up Clarke, Maxwell, Marsh, Johnson and Starc with an ER of 2.7?
