I think the point Dan is trying to get across is that his average is incredible and that in test cricket (which is where we all equate averages) a 57 average in one-day cricket would be like averaging 70 in tests.

Bevan isnt a test player. He was useless when he played in the test team. He is only a one day player.

Have a look at Watson's one-day figures. Have we completely forgotten the concept of picking someone on merit?

Yep, that must be how HACK got into the side.;)
 
great knock by Bevan, one of the best ODI batsmen in the world

something certainly needs to be done about the top order tho, we cant rely on Bevan every time

You've obviously missed the point that Dan was making....

a legend and the best ODI batsmen in the world. Where are the knockers, into hibernation i see. So glad i decided to go to see the aussie innings, which was my first time at the cricket, and the atmosphere was electrifing and exceeded my expectations. I never realised how much people idolise Warney.

Go Aussies.
 
Incredible innings! At one stage we were about 6 for 82 but the great man in Michael Bevan showed the top order how it's done. definately the best one-dayer I've been too.

I noticed in the Herald that there was a 1/2 page article about how Bay 13 got out of control again. Now I was sitting on lvl 2 just above them and I honestly didn't think they were that bad.

And just one more thing! why the @#$% do Cheeseburgers cost $6.50 now!!! They've risen about $2.50!!! What the @#$% is inside these burgers!
 
I'll readily admit I criticised Michael Bevan greatly over the past few weeks but I am happy to eat humble pie.
After sitting at the G last night thinking of how early I might be getting home I then witnessed one of the great One Day innings to end a great game.
Bevan never looked like losing his wicket and I was confident that as long as he stayed there and had decent support then we would have a huge show.
It was a great knock and one that had the whole crowd pumping with adrenalin at the end. I've never seen so many people hugging each other at the end, despite you not even knowing who they were. I've never seen so much emotion at a game from a crowd perspective and it was one night I'll never forget.

But credit must also go to Shane Warne, Brett Lee and Andy Bichel who could have easily lost their wickets in the same soft way that the top order did. But they held their nerve and played vital innings, giving support to Bevan when he needed it and adding crucial runs at the same time.

SMW, I was down on Level 1 and they weren't really that bad either. A bit more litter was thrown during the wave, but I wouldn't say that the majority of them were drunks as the Herald Sun stated. Most were just dead-set bored from the lack of action on the ground.
One look at the crowd in the last 10-15 overs and they were all glued to the action on the ground, no waves, not evictions, nothing.
Also I saw kids getting kicked out for punching the beach ball. What on earth is our world coming to when people are ordered out of the ground for punching the beach ball? How low are some of our police force when they throw people out for participating in this harmless act?

As for the cheeseburgers. Want to know what is inside them?

Sweet f... all. We're are the ACCC when you need them. It is a bigger ripoff than the petrol prices!!!
 
The Kangaroos part. :mad: cause the new admin has been doing a thoughrah and fantastic job. Should be the bullies instaed if anyone

Nothing personal congrats :)

It's only a pretend game, one day cricket.

goodness, that nice plump worm looks extra juicy........shame about the huge motherf--king hook it's attached to!
 
i was at the game and it was such an awesome atmosphere, there were a fair few people left when the 6th wicket fell but they missed out on something pretty good ;)

bevo is a champ and well done to warney lee and of course bichel
and bay 13 were not even bad this time, the crowd was well behaved actually i was in bay 12 and they were fine from what i could see.

go aussies ;)

Ay? Says who? (Equivalent to averaging 70 in test cricket)

The two forms of the game are so totally distinct that comparisons between the two are odious and irrelevant.

It is harder to sustain a high average in one-day cricket for a couple of reasons.

* There are only 50 overs in which to compile your score
* You have to take more risks as a batter

Most players who have played both forms of the game have a higher average in test cricket. Allan Border averaged 50 in Tests, and 30 in One-day cricket. In fact every member of the Australian team, bar Bevan has a higher test batting average.

Now, obviously they are both completely different games, but a player who can average 57 in one-day cricket is "about" at the same level of excellence as a batsman who can average 70 in test - Just as a rough generalistion. The comparison is not really relevant I agree, but in terms of "levels of excellence", an average of 57 in one-day cricket is unheard of. It is rare as averaging 70-odd in tests.

So, in terms of rarity, and in terms of the quality, I regard it is more or less, the same "quality" as averaging 70 in tests.

It's a bit like saying that averaging 32-points-per-game over a basketball season is roughly the same level of excellence as avergaing 50 in test-cricket. i.e both statistical feats are at the top of their respective sports.

That is what I meant with Bevan's average. His statistical feat is at the top of his sport, and is probably more impressive than a Test batsman averaging 50. I think it is more akin, in "quality" to averaging 70 in tests.

Yeah i know where he was coming from Briedis, simple fact is he plucked that 70 number out of his arse, there are no facts to back that assertion up.

Obviously it is difficult, and perhaps impossible to compare two different sports, therefore one has to use some common-sense when analysing the highest stanards achievable in those sports. As I stated below, when comparing the level of excellence between two different sports, I stand by my assertion that averaging 57 is much the same "quality" as averaging 70 in tests.

Tis only incredible because of his number of not outs. He plays in a position where he is often the man not out at the end of the innings.

If the bowling team have been unable to dismiss him, then logically his not outs "count" and contribute towards his average as they should. It doesnt make him any less of a player, just because he has had "not outs". It just means that opposing team havn't been able to get him out, which is what makes him such a great player!! He score runs quickly, and does it with virtually no risk.

Dan26, you are talking shyte...big time.

Bevan averages 57 for one reason - the not outs he accumulates. simple...end of story.

Bevo is a great player...no question, however apply his % of not outs to Tendulkars record and Sachin would average 60.

simple as that.

got it?

Shut up idiot. :mad:

:rolleyes:

You don't think there is merit comparing the upper achievemnt from one sport to another?

Everything I have said there is perfectly reasonable.
