<p>Sorry Biggy, Legends and me are weak. Even so, cricket colours are fairly standard: Australia is yellow, England dark blue, India Sky blue, South Africa dark green, Sri Lanka sea blue, West Indies maroon, Pakistan light green, Bangladesh turquoise, New Zealand grey.</p>Big Ramifications commented on 'ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef012876c8cc67970c2010-01-12T03:25:53Z2010-01-12T03:25:53ZBig RamificationsRuss, England is yellow and Australia is... dark green?

<p>I can't find a legend [on either blog]. I even tried that new fangled method of hovering over the lines to try and make a text box appear.</p>
<p>I seem to remember a similar problem here where it was my OS that wasn't picking up the legend, rather than it not being there. So please forgive me in advance if that's the case.<br />

The key point being this funky graph.</p>

<p>We aren't collapsing as badly as New Zealand or Pakistan, nor is the batting as poor as Bangladesh or the West Indies. But some of those big totals (Cardiff for example) are hiding an inability to grind out 300 in poor conditions. But what does it mean for players like Clarke? Is he a bad batsman because he doesn't dig in when required, or should we keep him for the good times?</p>Lou commented on 'ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef0120a7c24bc9970b2010-01-11T10:12:51Z2010-01-11T10:12:51ZLouWhy is it that sane fans have been talking about how much the team collapses since BEFORE the Ashes and...<p>Why is it that sane fans have been talking about how much the team collapses since BEFORE the Ashes and yet that bunch of dummies have only just cottoned on?</p>
<p>Talking of age, Haddin is hardly likely to become a two dimensional player at this stage of his career, Punter doesn't want to stop pulling regardless of the damage it will cause the team and him, Hussey is getting away with murder because the other teams can't catch and North appears to have become a walking wicket and even with that appearance, his stats are better than Punter's over this summer.</p>The Old Batsman commented on 'ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef012876c45e5d970c2010-01-11T09:18:19Z2010-01-11T09:18:19ZThe Old Batsmanhttp://theoldbatsman.blogspot.comAll the batsmen are old, too...<p>All the batsmen are <i>old</i>, too...</p>Bruce commented on 'ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef012876c3d29e970c2010-01-11T06:02:34Z2010-01-11T06:02:34ZBruceMaybe the selection group is spending a bit more time around here..<p>Maybe the selection group is spending a bit more time around here..</p>Tony commented on 'ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef0120a7c12c5e970b2010-01-11T03:30:56Z2010-01-11T03:30:56ZTonyhttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/cricket/Alternative Asleep At The Wheel.<p>Alternative <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QjIg2HVzcE&feature=PlayList&p=E09A539D6F872756&index=5" rel="nofollow">Asleep At The Wheel</a>.</p>Tony commented on 'ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef012876c36258970c2010-01-11T03:25:22Z2010-01-11T03:25:22ZTonyhttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/cricket/Authentic Asleep At The Wheel.<p>Authentic <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4vPoyL8njU&feature=PlayList&p=E09A539D6F872756&index=8" rel="nofollow">Asleep At The Wheel</a>.</p>Tony commented on 'ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef012876c3598a970c2010-01-11T03:15:28Z2010-01-11T03:15:28ZTonyhttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/cricket/Their progress has not been "profound".<p>Their progress has not been "profound".</p>m0nty commented on 'ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef012876c3585c970c2010-01-11T03:13:49Z2010-01-11T03:13:49Zm0ntyhttp://www.fanfooty.com.auAs a selecting group, Hilditch & Co have made no progress at all.<p>As a selecting group, Hilditch & Co have made no progress at all.</p>Tony commented on 'ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef012876c35757970c2010-01-11T03:12:53Z2010-01-11T03:12:53ZTonyhttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/cricket/The second innings against Pakistan in Sydney was none too flash, either. 0/107 to 8/257.
