Not mentioned in the article are the ACTUAL results of the recent opening partnership: 35, 26, 15, 9, 0, 9, 47, 0, 14, 35, 9.
Overall on the season Sayers and Rudolph have put up only THREE 50+ partnerships in 18 first wicket partnerships.
The average for the first wicket is 34.6 per wicket, well below the typical county average of about 50. I believe Yorkshire's openers are at the bottom of the league table based on average runs per wicket
