Yeah, bit poor. His 9 (runout) of 53 balls at Perth clearly didn't helpshaka said:strike rate of 58 is not all that good though.
Eh? 58 in test matches is pretty damn good. There's only a few players in the world who score quicker than that whilst batting in the top order. Ponting for example, who is a very aggressive batsman, has a career strike rate of 58.76.shaka said:strike rate of 58 is not all that good though.

He'd have to be very good at controlling the strike to score 183 at a strike rate of 58 in a ODI (and he'd need more than a few no-balls).shaka said:When I wrote it I thought you were talking about ODI's, my bad.
Yes but the following were fantastic efforts;And I see the majority of them we at home and the type of pitch at home and away.
is he one of the worst ODI batsmen or does he just have one of the worst ODI batting stats for a major batsmanPrince EWS said:But we were talking about Vaughan, who is one of the worst ODI batsmen in international cricket...
why should it matter in tests?shaka said:strike rate of 58 is not all that good though.
He did bowl well though, I believe that the arm ball that got Taibu out would have dismissed quite a few batsmen in stronger sides than Zimbabwe.thierry henry said:...yes, and it was against Zimbabwe. He's been playing international cricket for nearly 9 years now, some performances against other teams would be nice.

a) "A side as weak as NZ"- get your hand off itBlaze said:Left arm orthodox spinners are always going to struggle to have fantastic stats particuarly when you are bowling in a side as weak as NZ. Batsman know that if they can block Vettori out at one end then the runs will come from the other end.
Vettori should go alright when he is bowling alongside other good bowlers. Look it how he bowled in that World XI game in melbourne.
You can't deny that we are a weak bowling side in tests. Martin, Mills, Franklin and Tuffey for Vettori to bowl with...the return of Bond has helped though.thierry henry said:a) "A side as weak as NZ"- get your hand off it

b) Almost all of the pace bowlers NZ have used for some sort of extended period in recent years have better averages and strike rates than Vettori. If you disagree with this point, then find some stats to prove it. I believe Cairns has averaged about 29, Tuffey in the low 30s, Franklin high 20s, Shayne O'Connor low 30s, Martin has a similar average to Vettori (but without all the wickets against Bangladesh), and so on. In a vast majority of circumstances (i.e. games against anyone other than Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, and to a lesser extent Australia) Vettori is the proven weak link in the NZ attack.
c) If I remember rightly, Vettori went for about 60 runs in his 10 overs in the World XI game.
