Whats with the collapses?

^ even I have been having a bad feeling about DF (esp. after WI 3rd test). Hope he/players prove us wrong.

I think Dhoni and Raina has played major roles in collapses.. they come at position 6 and 7 and been frequently playing rash shots instead of playing according to situation..

phew... good thing that it didnt happen in the FINAL..

2009 we peaked as a team, it was our best year in terms of W/L in ODI's. The drop in average by 8 runs just goes to show how our lower-middle order has become weak. Is it possible to do this stats for no.3 to no.7?

Can you explain what exactly do you want?

[Cricket Tragic]

Can you do 1-6 and 7-11 for the different years?

You've done the averages for players batting from no.1 to no.7, Is it be possible for you to do it for players batting from no.3 to no.7 (middle order).

For Pagalpanti I guess if had checked it for 90s then it would have showed us that our middle order was non-existent. :hehe: Look at year 2000, team was heavily dependent on Sachin-Ganguly pair. For CT

Even the lower order players seem to be going for the glory shots time and again instead of sensibly giving the strike to the more set players. This was happening in the world cup and continuing now as well.

Thanks for that. Quite surprised really that our middle order averages more than the top order, although it seemed like our middle order has been weak for sometime now given so many collapses we've had since world cup. But over-all the drop in batting averages is quite drastic, worrying sign.
