Foakes: 31.53
Burns: 30.92
Malan: 30.35
Pope: 29.79
Denly: 29.53
Sibley: 28.94
Hales: 28.26
Hameed: 27.80

Jennings: 25.19
Vince: 24.90
Westley: 24.12
Roy: 18.70
Duckett: 15.71
Bracey: 2.66Stolen from Wisden, I assume this is all the specialist batsmen who’ve debuted in this period ? Christ England would kill for debutants of the calibre of Nicholls, Blundell, Conway, Young ( ok, jury still out on him and Blundell maybe ) wouldn’t they ?
Fuck that’s a lot of players who have been tried and found wanting…..
That's a lot of Ken Rutherford clones...

Poor old Rutherford was always destined to have a bad average after the start he made. He was really more a 35-36 than 27 odd.

England team licking door knobs in Melbourne
Talk is that they’re gonna have the rest of the series in Melbourne ?
….as if that will make any difference to the result. Poor old Michael Vaughan looks a bit pained on TV discussing how they’re going and who can blame him. Gilly, Hussey and Warney are pretty fair though. They don’t really stick the boot in at all.

Which would be total fucking bullshit. But that's a rant for the Covid Oz thread

Absolutely, a completely extreme reaction.
Good for cricket watching though, I love seeing games at the “G”

What?? Why??? Oh my God this country has lost its fucking mind.
They could play anywhere and England won't get within 200 runs.

Generous.
Unbelievable that these two are right beside each other in the world rankings. The gulf between them is enormous.

I'm sure The Palace Chook would happily forget her principles for a wad of cash. Second Gabba test? Drop in pitch at QCB in Townsville?

If they played in England, I think the English bowlers would perform better and the Aussie bowlers would perform worse, so it would be closer.

Had to look up mid nineties NZ which is generally remembered as a pretty barren period after Edgar/Wright, using 1993-1999:
Jones 42.00 (1 test, for injury)
Astle 40.00 (1 test, tactically)
Wright 38.20 (his final series)
Horne 38.20
Young 32.12
Spearman 31.29
Stead 30.00
Greatbatch 23.17
Pocock 22.93
Murray 20.20
Twose 19.58
Bell 16.53
Hartland 14.75
Vaughn 13.25Strangely strong compared to that lot.
