They could genuinely be playing Williamson as a specialist fielder, who can bat and bowl a bit?

I never said that they were any good, I just said that they are our first choice bowlers which imo they are.

Oram was one of the best, if not the best bowler in the SLPL. Southee and Mills pretty much only bowl in the powerplay and at the death, which is part of the reason why their economy rates are so high. Obviously I'm being bias, but I do think that all three of them are better bowlers than their economy rates suggest.

FTR most other pace bowlers don't go for 6.5 to 7 an over. Ignoring the minnows only four pace bowlers who have taken 20+ wickets operate at under seven; Sammy, Razzaq, Steyn, and Morkel.

haha You bending the stats again. Team records | Twenty20 Internationals | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo

That simple wickets has nothing to do with it. You try and keep the score down. Trying to take 11 wickets with attacking cricket from the fielding side will cost you more than anything else. As you can see better economy rate = better win/loss ratio

What are you talking about? You said "most others going for 6.5 to 7 a over", which even from the stats that you posted is completely wrong. Both lots of stats show exactly the same thing, that most economy rates are between 7 and 8 an over. My stats are ordered by economy rate, so I'm not sure why you're talking about wickets. I put a minimum wickets qualification on it so that it ignores people who have taken who have bowled like one over for one run etc.

How am I bending the stats again as well? I'm discounting the minnows from my stats like I always do when I look at stats, because it makes more sense to exclude them when you're looking at major team players. Your lot of stats doesn't make sense, because they say that six out of the seven best teams are minnows, because they verse each other a lot. You have you discount them if you want a meaningful lot of stats, even cricinfo does so in their articles.
