We don't like cricket, oh no! We love it!


So some random comment leaver left a snide comment about cricket. Well, like the Empire did, I'm striking back with an observation on the game at hand .
 

The World XI batting line-up – is this best team ever assembled in terms of averages? 6 of them have averages of over 50. 5 of those are over 54. Nine players of that team have at least two centuries to their name for a total of 126 centuries between them. Has that ever happened before? I'd email The Numbers Guy at Cricinfo but well that would be just too tryhard...

 

Oh - what about having three triple test centurions playing the in same line-up together? Surely that's never happened b4??....

Too right I love it, but the World XI will need to show a lot more balls if the game is going to mean anything or go beyond the fourth day.

I suspect the answer to your questions are 'never'. No excuse if they don't get at least 400.

I was going to say they need to harden up and stiffen their resolve but thought better of it...
