You're getting too complicated. Taylor has more wickets and a slightly higher average. If I were a bowler I would prefer Taylors stats. And he still has a good average/ And...He isn't the only one taking wickets. Taylor averages like 15 more with the bat, that has to come into consideration.
Yeah, 2 out of 5 (well 6 in your case ) are taking wickets, consistently. So my comment is valid. This argument is pretty shit though, the odds of either of these two getting a look in is pretty slim.
My first comment said if you were injured. So it's a fine argument to know who the back-up spinner will be. It could even be Cribb with him batting 8...
This. was going to say he's averaging around 50 with the bat, and taken heaps of wickets, so he's not shit.
