Amusingly the commentators mentioned how south africa choked in a similar position lol.



Also dispite us being dire at odis and bell only having got 3 tons.

Bell (149games) beat to 5,000 ODI runs:
Inzamam 150,
Gilchrist 153,
Sangakkara 162,
Sehwag 166,
Younis 169,
Jayawardene 182.

Good old clubbie exposed yet again on Australian shores. He's now taken 14 wicket vs Aus in AUS @ 40. One dimensional. Nothing more.

Broads not much better in fairness. Boh a little over rated. Not quite clubbie though. Think I'd put slogger finch in the clubbie cat before them

Haha Finch averaging 40 in all forms of one day cricket not a bad un 

Simple he is paid to score and score quite quickly and lets be honest he does most of the times.

Good player i enjoy watching

Some interesting stats regarding Bell since the new regulations came in in 2012 :



Bell in 13th place having also played the least amount of games out of any of those in that group. If we took into account Gerrys scaling factor of increasing the amount of wickets/runs in this case dependant on the amount of matches played I believe he would be in 4th  after Dhawan, Amla and De Villiers at first glance, with Sangakarra possibly hanging around him.

Using that calculation, Bell would be 7th at best. AB, Kohli, Amla, Sangakkara, Dilshan and Dhawan average more, so by law of averages they'd have more runs than Bell.

That table does illustrate that de villiers is an absolute freak...

[Come in 5 and left a bit]

Agreed those AB stats are on another level. Just another example of the lack of runs in the England top order

Surprising Bailey is the only Aussie up there given their success in ODI's since 2012.

Pretty sure Warner, Clarke and Watson have missed more than they've actually played since 2012. And Smith only recently got back into the side.

Incidentally Steven Smith became the first player in history to score a Test hundred and ODI hundred on debut as captain. #CanPlay

Has his form coincided with aus having flat wickets and flatties in your great SA??

All 3 Tests in South Africa-Australia series finished in a victory(1-2 Aus favour) so hardly 'flat pitches'.

And is Smith a FTB? Nope.
