2nd Test: New Zealand v Australia at Christchurch on Feb 20-24, 2016

[8Ball]

We can all talk downplay Voges' record all we want, but to average 100 at any level of cricket is a fair effort...

 

[JJ]

yep, the point isn't Bradman, the point is if you don't get him early you don't get him at the moment - it's a stunning run, but I suspect there are a few others that have averaged 100 over 10 tests or so, but that group would be some pretty good players

f**k. You see two blokes get out in the exact same way, yet we fall for the trap again.

 

[JJ]

Wagner the destroyer :lol:

Did they not scout him? :lol:

I think I saw an article that said Jimmy Adams got the closest after 19 innings with an average of 87. I think there were also a few on here making comments on Hussey's average after his great start to his career. Adams ended up on 41 and Hussey a touch over 50..

 

[Pete Cash]

You can give burns and smith a break because they were fatigued. This one is a bit silly

 

[blaza88z]

Gee.. shit gets wickets at this level too, apparently

from debut?

I'm also saying in the middle of careers - I'm sure there's plenty who had 19 innings runs like that

Oh ok. Yeah, my comment related to from debut

Yep - that's the thing with Hussey and Voges (and some other Australians in particular) their test careers took off when they were very mature first class cricketers not a great surprise they handled it well.

At the end of the day, Voges is a quality player, given his age there must be a chance he'll retire with a freakishly high average

Bob Quiney also comes to mind

Yep, :lol: I am astonished that nuffies like him, Marsh, and others kept Voges out of the team

 

[JJ]

I wonder if one day Wagner will pay for all this

 

[JJ]

or perhaps one of his team-mates - I do recall Hadlee bowling many bouncers to Joel Garner, the next day Coney had his forearm broken...

Hadlee didn't much care for Coney anyway :lol:

 

[8Ball]

What the f**k?

 

[Pete Cash]

lmao well its going to cost ~500 runs but the plan has got wickets.

 

[8Ball]

This has got to be the weirdest set of dismissals for a bowler I've ever seen.

Oh and Marsh :arrow:

 

[Pete Cash]

Sharma took about 4 or 5 wickets out of a 7 for with short bowling at lords once.

 

[JJ]

:lol: was just going to say Marsh's average had cracked the 24 barrier - nek minnut :lol:

 

[Hutty1986]

LOL you f*cking braindead nuffy. So dumb.
