Opener records v non-minnow nations

Ryder 36.76 with SR of 100+

McCullum 29.8 with SR of around 90.

Ok, so Ryder's record does come from a small sample of matches (he's only opened on 18 occassions, he's also played another 5 times at number 3 where he's averaged around 50), but that's pretty exceptional. McCullum has a lot more experience down the order, and has performed the role with great success. He's also a bit quicker between the wickets, which counts for a lot in the death overs.

I do concede that with the new fielding rules, Ryder's ability to find the gaps could come in handy in the later overs.

Ross Taylor to leave hospital to play - Cricket News | TVNZ

Quote:

Taylor and Andrew Ellis suffered from gastroenteritis during yesterday's "depressing" Duckworth-Lewis loss in Pallekele. Taylor top-scored with 72 from 62 balls despite vomiting before he went out to bat.

Whoa.

anything that forces batsmen and bowlers to do more than settling for shots to the sweeper during overs 20-40 is alright by me

Oh hooray, it's only raining a little

straw man · 06-11-2012, 01:45 AM

and SL win the toss and predictably bat second so they can take advantage of rain. Lame.

straw man · 06-11-2012, 01:50 AM

At least it's sunny for now. Hira in for Ellis and McCullum for Latham, so that strengthens the side a little.

Howsie · 06-11-2012, 01:59 AM

Why bother taking the likes of Milne and Latham over if you're not going to play them?

Nice, Watling's now opening. Poor bastard, next game he'll probably be batting at eight and bowling abit of right arm off-spin.

straw man · 06-11-2012, 02:02 AM

Yeah would definitely like to see Milne playing

straw man · 06-11-2012, 02:28 AM

This innings is dull so far. Can we please at least try to score at 4 an over

Mike5181 · 06-11-2012, 02:44 AM

What an awesome tour so far.

Rain saving SL from a pasting. Watling was just about to unleash

And I know it's been mentioned, but our batting order is stupid. Why do we insist on McCullum batting at 3? Should be:

McCullum
Nicol
Williamson
Taylor
Watling/Franklin
Franklin/Watling

It's really not that difficult to put them in that order, but we just can't seem to do it.
