All of it.

Yes.

Umm, which parts are 'utter drivel'?

I just realized that it was you that called David Willey a 'standard county pro' in the other thread.

I didn't realise we held people who avg 26 in FC so highly?? I'd say that's pretty avg when you think that the likes of Hussey was avg'ing 50 odd etc.

Gotta admit I can't quite remember the time when Hussey averaged 28 with the ball though  .

He's a bowling all-rounder. But for injury last season I reckon he would almost certainly be at the World Cup with England.

What is this obsession with averages? Perhaps you don't actually watch much cricket?

I just went off the batting. Could put him up against good all rounders I suppose. I'm not looking that closely at players. Should have picked up the all rounder part. My bad fellas. Still, point stands over batting avg.

Umm, aren't avg's how we know the good from the bad?? Don't get many top players with crap avg's!!

Averages are not a definitive guide to how good a player is.

They are pretty good when talking about pros

You've clearly never even seen the player we are talking about.

It's a general barometer but i guess T20 is a bit hit and miss - but good players will score runs/take wickets (then of course there's Jade Dernbach 🙊).

Different cricket and era but do remember that Trescothick and Vaughan when picked for England didn't have the worlds best averages (then you can compare with Greame Hick who was the opposite).

I think the thread had moved on from just being about T20. The point about you've made about Trescothick and Vaughan is valid.
