Sami was an awful test bowler; he played over 30 odd matches and averaged 50 with the ball.
Hilfenhaus :hpraise That's why we pick him, he's just got that X-Factor on swinging decks which makes him a real handful.
Seriously for someone who is so overtly statistical in every post you haven't realized that Watson averages over 50 when opening the batting in tests.
I feel bad for Bollinger. He is facing short balls from Gul. Already two hit him.
Don't. The aussies didn't and don't worry about doing it to England batsmen, like back in 93 any time Caddick hung around he'd be peppered with short stuff until short leg got a catch or he got hit.
He's played 32 innings and scored one hundred, hardly conclusive either way anyway. There was a reason I was surprised, last November his average was just 26.16............................. and I don't keep tabs on aussie progress. That said I may have seen his average since, but either way I would be surprised if he is your best opener
