    6th June - Group A - England v New Zealand

    also I see Swann is talking nonsense again - claiming that Moeen should be brought on because " He might be expensive but he always takes wickets." when its exactly the opposite - very rarely is expenseive, but almost never takes wickets (14 wickets in the last 25 innings, at a SR of 86 but an...

    6th June - Group A - England v New Zealand

    lol to be honest, I was not trying to say something thing like that, just I thought undue attention was being given to NZs over rate, given that in 90% of games we see something like this over rate and nobody bats an eye

    6th June - Group A - England v New Zealand

    seems like Englands over rate is precisely the same as NZs at the half way stage - both teams took 2 hours to bowl the first 25 overs, with NZ also having the 1 min silence in their bowling effort and 1 extra wicket down probably puts them actually ahead of England right now. How comes nobody...

    **Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

    I'd actually suggest Tredwell *could* be a world beater - for example he basically kept us in the WC2011 with his bowling vs WI, and over a career of ~45 matches, 60 wickets @27 with a economy of 4.75 and SR of 35 is almost as good as any other spinner in the world over last 4-5 years - a good...

    **Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

    Rashid getting a bit more economical here, but to no avail really. As a Kent fan have got to feel a little sorry for Tredders being so unceremoniously dropped despite not once having a poor game, and being ranked 11th/12th in the world for a few months. Problem with picking...

    **Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

    I don't want to be negative before seeing him bowl, as I like the guy quite a bit, but can anyone explain to me why we have picked Willey for this form (instead of T20), when he was so mediocre last year with the ball in the One Day Cup (off almost 44 overs, got 5 wickets @ 47.6, SR of 52.8 and...

    **Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

    well played Pakistan, but yet again it's an absolute disgrace that we didn't get close to 90 overs in the day, especially with loss of 9 overs yesterday. Can we stop playing to a clock, and start making sure that, as long as light is good, teams stay out to finish their allocated overs. Oh...

    **Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

    yep - the exclusions were: 1) None, all carreer stats; 2) Exclude Test matches; 3) Exclude ALL non LVCC matches (i.e. Lions, England tour parties, Uni matches, etc) This was done as I personally think it is a fairer way of comparing their statistics as I am not personally sure how much...

    **Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

    Just thought I'd argue the stats case, being a bit of a statto myself and having checked all the stats out myself: On overall FC average, *include* the Test matches they have both played, Taylor averages 47.2 (132 matches) and Bairstow averages 45.59 (117 matches). Thats what you see on...
