FROM the Ian Bell thread :

As Michael Atherton said during the recent series with Pakistan -
it's not about how pretty you look scoring runs, its about how many you score.
If it was all about being aesthetically pleasing on the eye -
Bell and Vince would absolutely be in my team.
But, as you win matches with runs scored and wickets taken,
neither would get in my squad for the winter

Atherton is a wise man
Re: Runs win matches - dillinger10 - 08-24-2016
One of Pakistan's biggest strengths over the last two years is their overall consistency. Their only major weak spot has been their opening pair. And even with that, Pakistan still have the highest team batting average (42.56) over this period.
Due to their consistency, Pakistan have debuted just 4 players over this period - the second fewest (only India (3 players) have debuted fewer)). By contrast Sri Lanka and West Indies have had 10 players make their Test debuts over this same period.
It will be interesting to see how Pakistan fare once Misbah and Younis Khan retire (assuming they are mere mortals and don't carry on until their 50s). Losing those two at some point in the near future will create a gaping hole in their lineup, much like the losses of Sangakkara and Jayawardene have hurt Sri Lanka.

That has been Pakistan's shortcoming in the past and Misbah has given this team, experience, fight, calm and belief. He leads from the front.

Re: Runs win matches - ketchim - 08-25-2016
From W.I. debutants # 298 - #309 ( Alzarri Joseph).
there were 2 out of 12
Leon and Chandrika (played like musical chairs)
Corruption and selection (hand in glove)
is the reason we are # 9 ICC ranked
