FROM the Ian Bell thread :

Atherton is a wise man 

One of Pakistan's biggest strengths over the last two years is their overall consistency. Their only major weak spot has been their opening pair. And even with that, Pakistan still have the highest team batting average (42.56) over this period.

Due to their consistency, Pakistan have debuted just 4 players over this period - the second fewest (only India (3 players) have debuted fewer)). By contrast Sri Lanka and West Indies have had 10 players make their Test debuts over this same period.

It will be interesting to see how Pakistan fare once Misbah and Younis Khan retire (assuming they are mere mortals and don't carry on until their 50s). Losing those two at some point in the near future will create a gaping hole in their lineup, much like the losses of Sangakkara and Jayawardene have hurt Sri Lanka.

That has been Pakistan's shortcoming in the past and Misbah has given this team, experience, fight, calm and belief. He leads from the front.

Same time period Guyana beat ALL the comers in the Regionals.

How many of those 10 : were Guyanese ??

minus Chandrika (now dropped) 

From W.I. debutants  # 298 - #309 ( Alzarri Joseph).

there were 2 out of 12

Leon and Chandrika (played like musical chairs)

Corruption and selection (hand in glove)

is the reason we are # 9 ICC ranked  .

The 10 to have been handed their Test debut over the last 2 years are: C Brathwaite, Chandrika, Chase, Cummins, Dowrich, Hope, Johnson, Joseph, Peters and Warrican.
