Sherrock is capable of having a stinker as we saw yesterday.
70 average is good enough

Yes there would be a few below that
They wont avg that on tv and will be lucky to avg 65+
As I said. There would be a few below but you would expect the majority to be 70+
From the series avgs above thats demonstrably not true.
15 out of 16 players have a running average over 70

How does that exactly prove the majority would average under 70

70 is worst of both worlds. Either i want it to be decent, or absolutely diabolical. Not in the middle.

Both are possible

Averages would range from low 60s to high 90s
