*Official* Third Test (Headingley, Leeds) 6–10 July

[Burgey]

Batsman being dismissed the most times by the same bowler in Test cricket:

19 times: M Atherton by G McGrath
18 times: A Morris by A Bedser
17 times: M Atherton by C Ambrose
17 times: M Atherton by C Walsh
17 times: D Warner by S Broad

Looks like Atherton was genuinely everyone’s bunny.

 

[RIcho]

Warner thinking about all his IPL money as he was walking off there.

Also thinking 'I can't wait to get home to my wife who looks like my twin sister.'

 

[G. S. Kohli]

world record is 8 catches in test

smith 5 catches if he took 3 more he will Equal A Rahane of india


congratulation Ben Stokes for 6000 test runs

stokes need 3 more wkts for DBL of 6000 runs & 200 wkts

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

None. Its a mystery to be known when their autobiography’s are available

Didn't show enough #intent, especially verbally

I find the stat somewhat a bit irrelevant as how many times did Atherton face Australia and the Windies and ditto Warner England.

Having checked it's still 40 times Broad hasn't got Warner out. (assuming Broad played every Ashes test Warner has)

Give Woakes one more then Woody

 

[Burgey]

The elf gets off the shelf and saves a couple at third man

 

[Coronis]

Five catches in the innings for Steve Smith. Equaling the world record for a fielder. Only player to have done it twice.

#Catches #SteveSmith #Ashes #Day2 #ThirdTest

At this rate he’ll need to play 27 more tests to pass Dravid.

this is a bit left field but... the amount of blokes getting hit in painful looking parts today... in 50 years has thigh pads / box technology really not evolved much.. like there's so much high tech materials and theee blokes are ****ing rich, so couldn't they completely cover their crotch area with nano tech grapheme by now or something? And maybe their head too actually

 

[White Ball]

Given it’s only Day 2 what lead do Straya need to be confident

 

[Zinzan]

Get Wood on already, Khawaja looking comfortable against these two.

It’s improved exponentially

50 years ago, a thigh pad was made out of foam and only worn on one leg while a protector was cheap plastic

David Warner ..sorry but he's way past his use by date

17x dismissed by Broad

300+ is a big chase I think. Pitch + outfield is so fast scoring though massive pressure if anyone gets going they are hard to stop

 

[91Jmay]

Man Marnus always seems to have crazy luck early in his innings. It's probably soft hands but it is uncanny how often the ball just doesn't hit fielders
