Gayle number 1 ODI bat, Shiv number 1 Test bat and yet......

He played an ODI about six months ago, whereas it has been 14 months since he played a test.

makes it even more silly

WIFAN,

You very well know that matches are won or lost by a team and just one individual just can't do much, don't you?

The ODI stats are seriously skewed by playing minnows.

Yep, that was my point in starting this thread. Of course we have been performing more like a team in the last 2 weeks and the results have been good.

even if you remove the extra 15 games or so against the minnows the win percentage would still be similar.
