stereotype said:Well if we are just talking about ODI's but do you know that McGrath, Lee, Clark and Bracken all have better bowling averages than Vettori, even Brad Hogg, Mitchell Johnson....of these only Clark has an average over 30
Bracken (20)
McGrath (22)
Lee (22)
Johnson (23)
Hogg (27)
Thats world class in cricket language

He's only played 22 tests....

You also have Tests at the end of the year in South Africa. And you've had 33 in the last four years.irottev said:We have 2 tests this whole year (already gone). 2! Most other counties are playing more tests in 1 series then we are the whole year. I think we have only had 5ish the last few years also.

AUSTRALIA coach John Buchanan has poured scorn on the rival teams in the current tournament by claiming the lack of quality opposition is stunting his squad's development ahead of the World Cup.
Negative. Clark's bowling average would be allot higher then it actually is. For me, I reckon it'd be somewhere around 35-40.MUFC1987 said:I think it's worth pointing out that some players have lower averages due to being thrown in at the deep end early in their careers so to speak. I mean for me if Clark had been playing since the age of 21, his test average would be a lot lower than it is now. Similar in a way that Oram's average would be a lot higher if he'd made his debut a couple of years ago, as opposed to 5 or not. Averages can be very misleading.

For me, Oram's as good a batsman as Vettori in ODI's as far as I'm concerned.
If you fail that consistantly then the I'm afraid to say but you deserve that average. Batting at the end of the innings but have it's benefits; just take a look at Mike Hussey for example.
