Just received the Venues NSW list of candidates for the SCG Trust election, and I'd be lying if I said it represented the wonderfully diverse city and nation in which we live.

Jim Parks has passed away aged 90. He played 46 Tests in the 50's and 60's. For around the last 10 months of his life he was the oldest surviving England Test Cricketer.

RIP

Crazy if that means there's no living English test cricketers left from the 50s

MJK Smith and Ramam Subba Row are still around. There’s probably others, but that would require research.

You can add Dick Richardson, Roy Swetman, Ken Taylor and Harold Rhodes.

Handy first-class debut for Suved Parkar.

Mumbai beat Uttarakhand, Mumbai won by 725 runs

MUM 647/8d & 261/3d vs UKHND 114 & 69 - Mumbai won by 725 runs in Bengaluru, Ranji Trophy 2022, June 06 - 09, 2022

Not Sakibul Gani level tho

 

[ataraxia]

also in the Ranji Trophy playoffs, lol: https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/...-hit-50-plus-scores-against-jharkhand-1318798

(this against the side who piled up 880 in March)

That was against a plate side, basically club standard

They have some weird match ups over there. Remember when a 16 year old guy made 1009* against a team of 11 year olds because the rest of their school was doing exams or something

 

[ataraxia]

*imagines TJB trying to hit lollipops bowled by 10 year olds over a 30-metre boundary and failing*

Wait Mumbai is playing a plate side too

I must say, I thought colossal first innings scores in Ranji Finals was a pretty normal thing.

 

[Starfighter]

Bengal, after taking a first innings lead of 475 into day 4, are batting again.

I wonder why the record for largest lead to not enforce the follow-on is in FC cricket? That's gotta be up there.

ironically Jharkhand put up the same trick three months ago but led by 591 https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...liminary-quarter-final-1280465/full-scorecard

'Preliminary quarter final' in March, 'Quarter final' now. I'm guessing this has something to do with the Ranji Trophy's 572 team structure.

Moreover, it's that the IPL meaning BCCI do not do anything else for two months.
