@pkriston

Now explain the disparity between the SR of the previous batters and Hodge?

Where are you from? Is it Saint Kitts and Nevis?

@Courtesy

Ask Kraigg Brathwaite who played 100 tests @ 32 with a S/r of 40.32 lol.

Now relax UNC and give the youngish man 33 a chance.

@voiceofreason

Ask Kraigg Brathwaite who played 100 tests @ 32

I'll take Kraig's SR of 32 any day.

Whose SR would you choose?

@WalterWhite

He has only played 15 tests, with a one year layoff in between. Yes he is young in terms of experience at this level.

@Courtesy

Well the fact that Hodge's career s/r is 50 I would take him as I consider this innings an anomaly. What do you think?

@Courtesy

He brought some stability after losing an early wicket.

And yes, I am. Who's tracking me down?

@voiceofreason

There are much more important and current considerations:

(i)This is a dead pitch:

(ii)and he batted 139 balls which is sufficient to get his eye in and improve his SR.

(iii) We can do a comparative analysis with the other batters.

(iv) He had two chances even before he reached 7

Wouldn't you agree?

@voiceofreason

Yes he is young in terms of experience

😀😀😀😀

You're grasping at straws my brother.

@voiceofreason

And the anomaly is probably because he is out of form?

@Courtesy

I am not in disagreement that this innings was a poor one in terms of the pace considering the conditions and the situation of the match. 30 off 139 is ridiculous.

What i am saying is that he has been more fluent in the past so this innings can be considered an anomaly in terms of his s/r.

Back to the Test match.

Would you say he is probably out of form?
