It's a joke related to centuries losing their status as fifties

At least somebody got it, even I did slightly **** up by missing Rahul off.

Jamaica failed to defend 241 (second highest chase ever) and the conceded 267 (third highest score ever) just a few days later. Pathetic stuff.

The dropped catches were pathetic

Shamelessly taken from twitter.


Most international 100s in Asia by non Asian batsmen
13 - AB de Villiers
11 - Ponting / Kallis / Amla / A Cook
10 - Brian Lara / Chris Gayle
9 - Gary Kirsten

De Villiers' 8 of 13 hundreds came in India

I am just wondering how dropped catches affect a bowlers' figures.

Broad has had 103 catches dropped off his bowling.

Broad has had 103 catches dropped off his bowling.

He's also a bellend and probably puts the fielders under more pressure than other bowlers to take catches off him. If you get catches dropped off you then tough luck. The only time I might have sympathy is if you play for a minnow team.

Dropped catches are an essential part of caught catches.

AKA "reverse-dropped catches".

First Indian to get stumped twice in a test too #statsthatreallymatter

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nice records

Rohit now has 45 sixes in test cricket. The way he is going, it will need only 3-4 home seasons to reach close to 100 sixes. Not many have done it. McCullum leads the pack with 107, Gilchrist has 100.

 

[ankitj]

R Ashwin is now joint fastest (with Muralidharan) to 350 wickets. Reached there in 66 matches

Depends how many home or Asia tests he can fit in. Close to 70% of the sixes have come in the subcontinent.

Though it should be Ben Stokes record in the end. Only 28 and already has 60+ sixes.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Isn't Southee pretty well up there on sixes hit too?

Didn't realize Stokes has that many. RIshabh Pant is another player who could reach there, but that is a very early call.

Hetmyer has 27 sixes in just the 15 tests.
