England v Pakistan 2nd Test, Headingley

Struggling to see the logic behind that

It’s the average runs you score for each out. Not average per innings

Sounds like Alison Mitchell.

Na, shes Asian. No idea who she is like.

Well, it's not fair to curb someone's score if they run out of partners
Imagine being in teh form of your life and all you need is 4 runs to hit a career average of 100. You are on 3 not out when your partner gets out. Does that mean your average reduces?

That's what I was thinking aye, didn't know it was boosted like that though.

Buttler’s making the red ball moaners look a bit silly here.

Let’s not go nuts. 14, 67 and an unbeaten 50 doesn’t make him Bradman

Your average is the cost of your wicket: Runs divided by the number of times you are out.

It's basically total runs divided by total completed innings. Neither way is a true reflection, but this is the best way

 

[dixonsafc]

Could be a fun 30 minutes or so of Buttler having a crack at them here.

This is made for him mind, have a slog and it doesn't really matter if you get out. Plus, they are completely playing into his hands and have abandoned the length ball. Bizarrely.

Broad wants a bowl.

Let’s not go nuts. 14, 67 and an unbeaten 50 doesn’t make him Bradman

He’s the top scoring batsman in the match, has batted superbly on a pitch everyone else has got in and got out on, in exactly the way that you and others said he couldn’t, after being one of only two batsman to have come out of the Lords Test with any credit. I’m not sure what more you want him to do, he’s proven you wrong, I’m afraid you will have to deal with it.

 

[dixonsafc]

Remember when Broad hit 169 against these? Its crackers what a bash to the head can do to your batting ability

I don’t want him to do anymore. And as I said last time, I’ll be happy to be proven wrong.

But you’re jumping the gun somewhat

 

[LD19SAFC]

Wallop!

But you’re jumping the gun somewhat

No, I’m not. You said he can’t play red ball cricket and have been proven totally wrong. I hope you’re happy.

Buttler absolute class

Boom

He’s looked more comfortable than anyone called up

Fuckin hell Anderson and Broad

Those 2 are fuckin soft as shite

 

[Jack Torrance]

Let’s not go nuts. 14, 67 and an unbeaten 50 doesn’t make him Bradman

Pretyy impressive compared to the rest of our batsman.
