England cricketing year statistics

Might have been done already but not been on much so yaboo sucks if it has....

In this months Wisden, they have a table of Englands averages

Bell 1164 runs @ 97.00 5x100 5x50
Cook 1504 runs @ 94.00 6x100 4x50
KP 1055 runs @ 70.33 3x100 5x50

All hail the Belf! Also interesting to see that KP was supposedly struggling for much of this year!

Trott 810 runs @ 62.30
Prior 653 runs @ 54.41
Morgan 362 runs @ 40.22
Strauss 563 runs @ 33.11

Straussy still flying under the radar a bit perhaps?

Bresnan 27 wickets @ 17.62
Tremors 36 wickets @ 24.22
Broad 35 wickets @ 25.62
Jimmykins 52 wickets@ 26.30
Finn 18 wickets @ 33.00
Swann 40 wickets @ 35.22

Broad, a bit like KP in seemingly being under a lot of pressure but putting decent figures on the board eventually.
Swanny, not as brilliant as the previous year but played against 2 very good sides of finger spin.

Enjoy it while it lasts!

Broad's stats have been doped up by the India series and Swann's stats seem worse because of the number of times the fast bowlers took all wickets. When he was needed against Sri Lanka, he did very well.

Wisden must have taken the figures from the start of the Ashes to the end of the domestic season, hence 'cricketing year'

Aye, people forget how truly shite Broad was for a lot of that period... in essence he's only had one good series in the cricketing year.

To be fair, it was better than a "good" series - he was awesome. Which kind of glossed over how appalling he'd been up until then, but at least showed he has the tools to succeed, if the brain is working.

If Swanny has a weakness it's that he's not a great defensive spinner when the pitch isn't helping him.

And to be fair again, he was injured in the Ashes and only had one bad series against SL so the figures were a fair redlection of his year in the end. The big question is will the fact he got a shed load of wickets pitching the ball up convince him to continue with it!

Welcome back Dello.

Marty - can you clean up your tabulations please. I prefer Lever's figures, not because I am Pom but because I can read them.

Lever - jolly well posted, ssA! Take an MBE and retire to a Scottish mansion.

He's got a lot of weaknesses. In fact, I'd say he has been Montyesque in his lack of improvement... both batting and bowling. His fielding has turned to sh!t, too. In his favour is that he's been a class above every spinner in the game almost since his inception.

A tad harsh, Monkey. His catching at second slip is very good, usually. He only had one pitch that really provided him assistance in 2011 (Adelaide) and he got the job done.

But yes, his batting has gone backwards.

Which is why I always prefered Broad over him at 8. Much better technique to survive with a proper batsman at the other end.

Well, yes, Broad can bat. Swann can tonk.

Seems obvious now Lardman, but back in the day there were plenty of bat Swann higher up the order merchants.

He's more than a tonker, he can bat (Highest FC score of 180) but he looks a bit weak agin the short ball to be that effective at the highest level.

He may be a victim of his own 'image'; he's abandoned technique in favour of being the aggressive lower-order fast scorer. He wouldn't be the first. Rod Marsh went through that phase ...

He has just turned into a bit of a hand-waving tosser who gets petulent when things aren't going his way when bowling, as mentioned it seems to me he has absolutely no plan when the pitch isn't favourable to spin. And, after a few good tonks, he's turned into one of those 'that's the way I bat' wankers who diminish their own responsibility.

He's always been like that though, hasn't he? Fletcher thought him a right little prick in 1999. But now that England are successful it's seen as him being confident in his own ability.

It's harsh to criticise him when he's clearly our best spinner since Underwood.

Dan has been shunned obviously, no longer his biggest fan...

Well, yes, he was called 'The Ego' by the blue seats 'up the county' when there. I've seen him do twattish things like dance to the sh!t tunes when he's smacked a four in the JAMODDs and all other similar such histrionics, however he didn't use to act like a complete child when he's been drilled for a couple of sixes like he does now. I was watching his batting from a couple of years ago and comparatively he's a total joke. He blatantly hasn't worked on it one iota. Now batsmen are more comfortable with him, what has he done to counteract that? All I'm saying is if he's not careful, all this media attention could ruin his development.

His development? He's been playing first class cricket for 15 years. He knows his game very well. He's never been the most consistent line and length spinner because he gives the ball a big rip. The seamers mostly did the job in 2011 and Swanny was hardly needed.

The next 12 months will see him at the forefront again as we tour the Middle East and Sub Continent.

I'd posit that to maintain excellence at the highest level, one would have to work at their game... or develop it, if you wish.

I agree, it's a very big year for him. He'll be crucial to our chances of maintaining the world #1 spot.

Couldn't have put it better myself, Wally. Astute as ever!

I'm fairly sure his batting has always been as it is now. I remember when I used to watch him at Northants he would pretty much be on the tonk from ball one.
