Arbit Statistics

Cricket is a game filled with obscure statistics. Here is one more. But a quite revealing one.

This is from text commentary on MSN
83.6 Harbhajan to McIntosh, 1 run, Dhoni makes no attempt to save the single, Harbhajan gives it a bit of air, much fuller, McIntosh drives it to long on, gets to his 2nd Test ton, take a bow young man, it's been a terrific innings from him, the first ton by a NZ opener away from home after 6 years, Fleming was the last one to do it.

"the first ton by a NZ opener away from home after 6 years".
This single line probably sums up best the state of Kiwi batting in Test cricket. Also why they are where they are in the ICC rankings.
