Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

Does Tim Southee have the lowest percentage of balls faced to sixes hit? He has faced 1327 balls and hit 55 sixes, which means he hits a six every 24 balls. I believe Afridi hit one every 37 or so deliveries. From people who have hit 30 or more sixes, I'm fairly sure that's the best I can come up with.

Didn't know where to put this, but this will do..........is the cricinfo home page playing up for anyone else?

The rest of the site is working fine but as soon as I go to the home page it will load fully, then just immediately disappear to a white screen. Been like it for a couple of days.

Using Chrome but it does the same thing in Edge, tried clearing my cookies but that didn't work.

Works fine for me.

I've started to feel I'm being robbed with nearly all the recent tests,Ind v SA, Aus v NZ, Aus v WI and NZ v SL being over in three days.

Waiting for months for these tests and they are over before you know it.
A result is better than a draw but why cant they be decided after tea on the fifth day.

A surfeit of limited over games is no substitute.
They are ok for people with short attention spans but what about us people with long attention spans ?

TBF the last Ind/SA test went into the final session. Did take a blockathon to get there tho.

La Whore Calendars

Also quite fitting that Pakistan's most criminal city, Karachi, bags the cheat.

 

[Cruxdude]

Wow! AB De scored 14 off 20 in the 434 match!!! Who would have thought that

 

[Victor Ian]

Has there ever been a player with a better average, of any sample size, versus one team, than Voges 542 versus the West Indies? Is there anything remotely close?

 

[Victor Ian]

Answer? Nup and Nup.

/r/cricket is usually pretty ordinary but I liked this guy's analysis of the best moving averages. Very thorough
