Irrelevant whether they can get into ENG squad or not. That speaks for ENG's batting frailties rather than Gayle/Sarwan's class.gayle and sarwan are far from mediocre at their best. Both of them would get into englands bating line up at 3 in place of either butcher or key.
Fact is they are mediocre.
talented ? yes.they are both talented and effective players in both forms of the game. Playing in the current west indies side and both carrying averages above 40 suggests to me that they are both better than mediocre.
Effective ? on mediocre levels.
Gayle doesnt average 40 in test cricket and Sarwan barely does.
They both benifit massively from Bangladesh and Zimbabwe and without them their stats are significantly worse.
They have had one good year and 4-5 poor years so far. Hence mediocre.
