Just out of interest, do you know how many wickets went outside the Aussie Big 4 in the 26 Tests they played together? I'm guessing not many. I guess the odd few for the likes of Marsh and Green.

21 wkts
Green, Marsh and Head all took 6 wkts, Labuschagne 3

And since those 4 first played a Test together, who has taken the most wickets outside of them? Boland?

It really highlights how they've dominated Aussie bowling and perhaps throws out the question about what comes next?

Boland with 35, Green 30, Murphy 21 and Marsh 18. All of whom have taken only one 5’fer during that time.

Nathan Lyon is set to surpass Courtney Walsh’s record for most matches without a test 50. If all goes well, he should surpass Walsh during India’s tour of Australia.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I thought Lyon would have a 50, he's not a mug.

He just looks like one?

I’d take a sip out of that.

895 in 95 : M Muralitharan (586) & WPUJC Vaas (309)

There's also 3 pairs with a bowler plus a batter who bowled a bit:

600 in 122 : A Kumble (567) & SR Tendulkar (33)
517 in 103 : SK Warne (471) & ME Waugh (46)

And 4 pairs that were basically a solo effort:
641 in 96 : M Muralitharan (636) & DPMD Jayawardene (5)
528 in 77 : M Muralitharan (528) & KC Sangakkara (0)
524 in 130 : JM Anderson (523) & AN Cook (1)
503 in 107 : A Kumble (502) & R Dravid (1)

Here’s a post I wrote on this topic last year. I don’t know why the numbers are often different for those in the tweet.

Probs just down to poor research. The inital article I read had incorrect numbers for the English trio - lucky I double checked before I posted here.

Funny how he will join fellow prolific Aussie spinner Warne as a historically non-achieving batsman (Warne with the most test runs without a cenury?). Both "could bat".

Rehan's over today that went 143026 is seemingly just the 7th time in Test History (6 ball overs) that the scorer's holy grail has been achieved. It has never been done with a 5.

Although, in ODI's both Shami and Behrendorff have done it with 5's but not 3's.

lol glad to hear that I was a part of history when I was willing Jaiswal on to go for the slog last ball

Lyon is already comfortably top for "most runs without a 50" (1455 to Roach's 1174).
Warne has most runs without a hundred, though Dickwella is catching up (2757 to Warne's 3154).

Will Dickwella play any more tests though?

 

[Bijed]

True - he's already played just over 50, so it'd be in character for him to not add many more to that

 

[Aidan11]

Will Dickwella play any more tests though?

I hope he does. He really needs to get that elusive century.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ashwin- 500 test wickets.

 

[ashley bach]

KW the fastest man to record 32 test hundreds.
