So i guess the discussion can be will some players have better careers then their counterparts or will we they be able to replace those that will be finishing their careers soon. Apologies for formatting

No offence bro but that is unreadable, you cannot copy paste data columns into this site without a lot of formatting.

Also stats are irrelevant in this instance as the team today play 90% of their games against Namibia,Ireland, Desh and the associates.

Whereas the team 20 years ago played 90% of their games against the top 9.

I tried numerous times to line it up but it kept formatting back to that. You live and learn.

I think it highlights to me, how much we miss an all rounder like Elton.

It’s a shame Tiripano just fell short in both disciplines.

It’s also a reason I’d like to see Cartwright enticed back.
A big hitting medium fats all rounder. He should still hold his bowling until the next WC.

I think to entice Cartwright back, we would have to be qualify for some of these tournaments.
W.A has been a force domestically, so it be hard to leave that side.

2004 team hands down, at least they were getting pumped by the likes of Australia and India full-strength. The current team get pumped by Uganda and Singapore and we get excited if we get to play a full-strength Ireland.

Despite 2004-09 or so being depressing, at least it was fun to watch how the newcomers were progressing against the best in the world. It's hard to feel the same excitement when we're playing Rwanda and Jersey.

I agree with this.

The baseline isn't really there.
