Difference between Sarwan and Trott

www.kaieteurnewsonline.com/2013/11/24/dc...rial-ends-in-a-draw/

Sarwan, who looked set for a big score in only his second match since leading Guyana to the CPL

struck left-arm spinner Denis Legay for an effortless six over extra-cover.

He then thumped Khan for another six over long-off

before edging a cut to Barnwell at slip at 114-5 as off-spinner Yatesh Dhanpaul got rid of the right-hander :

Sarwan also hit three fours in his 63-ball and 68 minute innings that saw score 40 runs .....

Ronnie Sarwan walks back to the pavilion after scoring 40 at Everest yesterday.

                             

Point taken and as another poster said .... fair comparison

* Ramnaresh Sarwan ended his test career with a very ordinary 40.01 average.

* But check his first class average---39.11

* What does that tell you ?

* It tells you that a batsman with ordinary first class numbers will always have an ordinary test career.


* NOW GO AND CHECK DARREN BRAVO'S FIRST CLASS AVERAGE.

* It will tell you how Bravo will perform in test cricket.

* Will he be ordinary or extraordinary ?

THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE.

Rev

Numbers cover up more than they reveal. Stats without context is meaningless. Although in this case, I agree that his career was far from spectacular.
HOWEVER, beggars can't be choosers, and 40+ is STILL good IMO. I'd take him in the test squad at least anyday.

Either way, you seem to be missing Ketchim's point.

So would I . His 2 double centuries are already on the Tins and in the record books !

Looking at his replacements in our XI that got slaughtered by India  ... ** sigh * :-[
