One of the more unheralded stories of this World Cup has been Scott Styris' sudden elevation into the upper echelon of international match-winners in one-day cricket. Look at some of his all-time World Cup stats -- they defy all odds and expectations: second highest batting ave., second highest strike rate (!!). Yeah, I'm picking my jaw off the floor too.
He reminds me a little of Robert Horry, the journeyman NBA power forward with the uncanny ability for signing to championship teams, sleepwalking through most of the regular season, then nailing vital shots in big Playoff games when the team need them the most.
well well well, what's next? dan full of praise for hayden's uncanny dominance on the front foot?? i think the selling of the soul is inadvertantly coming out in your cricket fanatics!!
keep up the good blogging though, i'm trying to spread the word and create a fan base. nina and leigh have hooked it up.
