Point, although Murali doesn't figure in all the ODI series the Lankans play. Maybe replace Vettori with Murali, but that weakens the batting a little (or a lot?).Tom Halsey said:Where's Murali?

He averages more over a lot more games and scores at a quicker rate.Ming said:You haven't quite understood the art of the term 'etc' have you?
Oh so Symonds averages more than Styris by one, big deal.

How can you have Akhtar in your 2005 team? Hahah, I`ve been writing this team for around 20 minutes, and it`s still the same as everyone elses.
Styris replaces Dhoni. I just really want him in my side, very under-rated, and I can`t find a decent opener anyway.
And every run increases it.marc71178 said:Erm no, because every dismissal reduces the average
Lee's a better striker of the ball. Vettori does some pretty unorthodox hitting and is good in a chase.sledger said:thats interesting, not the other way around ?
one of the most stupid things i have ever heard..Ming said:Since Symonds has played 'a lot more games', he should have even a higher average considering he has more opportunities to score than Styris.
I know, Dhoni has been a superstar this year, but I`m choosing the better man with the gloves over batting, and Styris gives me a much needed option with the ball.Deja moo said:How surprising that Styris couldnt replace Gilchrist

How many catches/stumpings has Dhoni missed ? How many byes has he given away of his own incompetence ?Nnanden said:I know, Dhoni has been a superstar this year, but I`m choosing the better man with the gloves over batting, and Styris gives me a much needed option with the ball.
When NZ played a pseudo World XI after Sri Lanka left early.Prince EWS said:When exactly was his chance?
Meh. I was trying to match Marc's comment regarding having an average which is greater by 1 as being 'much worse'.andyc said:
You've gotta be kidding me. I guess then you believe that Andy Ganteaume was the best batsman in the world?
Hahahahaha...LongHopCassidy said:When NZ played a pseudo World XI after Sri Lanka left early.
I havent checked the stats, and I dont actually remember how he went because it was such a meaningless series, but I suggest that he either just didnt care or he was in bad form.Then why, pray tell, did Styris not dominate those has-beens?
The point of this thread, though, is to disregard previous accomplishments and just focus on this year.Don't get me wrong - Styris has attained admirable figures this year. The problem is, players like Flintoff, Kallis and Symonds possess career stats that are similar.
