They probably are, trouble is there is only really one test pitch at home to play them on so we will never really see them together again after the next few weeks. Might well play at Old Trafford in the ashes but after that it is difficult to see many chances for two spinners in an England side.
they obviously appear to be much better.
Indeed!
Such bull****.
the mumbia pitch had a lot of pace in it which made monty appear a lot better than any other spinner. On a relatively slower wicket, which we will probably see in the next 2 games, indian batsmen will have more time to adjust to his quick pace and therefore make him less of a factor.
His point is that if Monty played for one of the subcontinent sides he'd play more Tests and therefore be in a position to be ranked as high as the likes of Ohja. The ICC awards have nothing to do with it.
Thanks for clearing my thoughts! Indeed what my point is!
.
You're sort of missing the point of ICC rankings. Yes they suck, but if you are going to be using a statistical method of ranking players then only performances count, no spreadsheet will give a **** about your hypothetical performances elsewhere.
Yeah the standardised averages thread I have him is basically only of real use for retired players; it's not meant to tell you who's better now.
It's quite a thing you missed my point, even after is has been explained by GIMH....
Erm I fully understood your post. It's what I meant by 'hypothetical performances'.
Well, in the post I said Monty should NOT be in the list..... I'm lost here......
That's the hypothetical.
I see,
