Indeed, a simple table of how many games current international players from each country have played in the IPL would also be interesting. It's a worry for English cricket, it does feel like another area where we're being left behind!<br /><br />MHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83358194924503872.post-20510144156171653072010-04-06T13:14:38.985+01:002010-04-06T13:14:38.985+01:00This is amazing analysis.

The damage done by KP's part time off spin, and the dibbly-dobblers of Bopara and Mascarenhas is more effective than it proves elsewhere! Even if Bopara does seem to have adopted a spinners run-up!<br /><br />Cricket stats are the only thing worth spending this much time on!GreenJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658909094741780394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83358194924503872.post-76349460335182972492010-04-02T14:30:03.777+01:002010-04-02T14:30:03.777+01:00It is good to see your command of stats being used...It is good to see your command of stats being used for a good and worthy cause.

Mascarenhas for RR has been good and more recently, so was Bopara. Pieterson gets a few here and there, but I'm certain there aren't any more.<br /><br />Good round-up - the IPL may add to a player's workload but at present, it's helping most players prepare for the T20WC!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281368477670951233noreply@blogger.com
