a little late to post now, but has a side ever lost a test before when one of their players scored a triple ton?

clear daylight between bat and ball

not that i can recall, probably not

 

[mr_mister]

would Pak's 579 also be the highest ever first innings score in a losing cause should the Windies get there?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

whats the best strategy now? i know holder can dead bat and hang around bravo but going for the win is now the best available option? worth the gamble? if they were 4 or 5 down still i'd have in favor of trying to save first then plan later what can be done

That's rubbish, his dive moved the position of the boundary rope. Should be 4.

Bravo's the weirdest batsman. Never shows up at home but once he goes overseas, he seems to looks class

Not sure Holder has the game to just block everything. Playing normally could be a good option since another 50-60 runs from these two will make Pakistan doubt themselves.

Highest losing score is Ponting's 242 at Adelaide 2003.

Highest losing team score is actually 586 from this ridiculous match from 1894 when it was the highest test score by miles.

 

[mr_mister]

I want Holder to treat it like a t20 and hit 40 of 20

Haha Blackham enforcing the follow-on there looked like a lolbad decision in retrospect.

yeah exactly want these two to take them on rather than trying to save the game

 

[mr_mister]

well they're going for it now

Required RR is close to 3 an over now. Should try and keep running ones and twos when possible so that they don't find themselves in a position where they have to slog with no wickets at the end.

/Thanks Tubbs

Nawaz gonna be dropped for 2nd test?

It's a crazy series, the first ever 5-test series and showed the world how good they could be. In the second test Australia bowled out England for 75 in the first innings and still lost. From 2-0 down they fought back to level the series after 4 tests, then lost the 5th after again taking a big first innings lead. Wisden: The match of the century

By wonderful batting - Ward's patient defence being scarcely less remarkable than Brown's brilliant hitting - they put on 210 runs together, their partnership practically ensuring the success of their side. After the fourth wicket had fallen, the end soon came, MacLaren and Peel being in at the finish. Though the crowds of spectators were, of course, greatly disappointed, they cheered the Englishmen most heartily.

The bolded in particular is a scarcely believable end to proceedings

WI going to win this, you heard it here first
