He certainly is due for a low one at some stage! Insane run of scores for someone who was as close as one could be to being dropped.

I think swann will be a completely different proposition at the G. the last 3 tests have bascially been roads for spinners (except the last 2 days in adelaide).
Finn's wickets of Hughes, watson on day 1 etc were crucial. He goes for runs, but his wickets are extremely valuable. Could see if they played bresnan and shahzad , them just being up and down tripe and not looking athreat. Finn's always doing something with the ball and batsman dont ever seem look 100% comfortable against him, despite his occasional bowling of rank wides.
Alot rests on Swann though, and i'd expect him to be effective from day 1. That is, however, if strauss stops neglecting him and actually bowls him for longer. Warnie was right when he said a couple of daysago that straus misses a few tricks .

It's funny cause you didn't use them correctly in this post either.

Whats the record for the most consecutive half-centuries?

Na if he gets 50 in the next innings he will be up to 6 (which equals his record for consecutive half-centuries). Who has 7?

Was looking at the wrong dates for Huss when I said 6.

There are some pretty absurd 'purple patches' there. Look at Yousef's haha: 128, 192, 56, 191, 102, 124. And Weekes, I have nothing to say...that's just insane: 141, 128, 194, 162, 101, 90, 56. I just noticed as well, Weekes was literally 2 runs off making that 9 in a row, with a 48 followed by another half century.

Yeah indeed he does. Gotta say, I'm kind of suprised Bradman didn't have at least 6 half centuries in a row. I mean to him a century was like a half-century to everyone else. It would be very interesting to know how many consective half centuries/centuries Bradman got in FC cricket, although I have no idea where those records are kept...
Weekes has a ridiculously good record actually, never seemed to get talked about that much when it comes to all time great debates.
The three Ws are obviously iconic but feel they do get overlooked at times on an individual basis, maybe something to do with Headley before and Sobers coming after; anyway this is ridiculously off topic.
