Again, I'd rather have a Lee than a Larson. Runs/Wickets should have higher rating than Strike Rate/Economy Rate
Bender's probably played more games than you have, though. Your average > his. That being said, well done to Bender for attempting to keep his team in the game and taking away any slim hope I had of a NSW jersey.
Well he's not even first reserve so if Bender fell over and died, there'd still be no Burridge. Players who scored a stack of runs last season against understrength attacks but failed to replicate that this season are unlikely to be considered.
