    "England were the sixth worst at removing the tail in the previous cycle
    of the World Test Championship, with the opposition averaging 87.04
    after the sixth wicket fell in that period."

    Sadly, that's not true - they were actually sixth-_best_ (fourth-worst).

    but if you change it to wkts 8-10 england are the worst?

    Yes, and that's probably a better measure, considering that, across the tournament as a whole, the biggest drop in average partnership was from
    the 7th wicket (28.46) to the 8th (21.14).
