*Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

[Fuller Pilch]

With England 207 in front, how much of a lead is needed?

Highest run chases at Trent Bridge
Eng 299/5 - 2022
Eng 284/6 - 2004

Highest run chases in England
Aus 404/3 - 1948
Eng 378/3 - 2022

Highest run chase by WI in England
WI 344/1 - 1984
WI 322/5 - 2017

Bat til about afternoon tea. Declare if not bowled out.

 

[Midwinter]

I'm just glad the game has made it into the 4th day.

 

[Qlder]

Brook's 36 and 71* are the most runs he's scored in a home Test (beats his 85 & 7 vs Aus), but can he get his first 100 in England?

Really is a bizarre record Brook has (stats before this Test)

Away: 5 Tests, 797 runs @ 88.55, HS 186, 4 hundreds, 3 fifties

Home: 8 Tests, 434 runs @ 39.45, HS 85, 0 hundreds, 5 fifties

 

[nick-o]

This test could well threaten the most runs ever scored in a match at Trent Bridge (1601 in 2022) or most in England (1650, Headingley 1948) if it goes the full five days - currently sitting on 954 runs after 8/15 sessions and 21/40 wickets.

The most runs in a five-day match overall is also from 2022, the Rawalpindi one.

If I calculated this right, if England set a target of 344; WI score 344 gives a match total of 1601

Eng 416 and 384; WI 457 and 344

Highest run chase by WI in England
WI 344/1 - 1984

Oh!!!

Howe Snr and I are on the front row at deep square leg (from the Radcliffe road end) so if Harry brook gets a few short ones we might be in danger. It's been established that neither of us can catch

[slowfinger]

England's batting getting them out of the myres

 

[slowfinger]

cracking straight drive. how did the selectors find this gem in Brookes?

 

[slowfinger]

WI bowlers need to learn how to swing it a bit, all bowlers just fast and dead straight

 

[slowfinger]

this is about where you'd want a quality spinner to hold an end ...

 

[Qlder]

Brook's highest score in England

 

[BazBall21]

Root playing a similar rare low-key supporting role to when he was batting with peak Bairstow in the 2022 summer. A bit like his 2015-2019 ODI innings.

 

[slowfinger]

surely any Windies fans might be a bit fuming right now the game's literally gone in the last hour

 

[Groundking]

Top quality knock from Brook

 

[Brook's side]

Played Brookie. Keep it going now.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

If I calculated this right, if England set a target of 344; WI score 344 gives a match total of 1601

Eng 416 and 384; WI 457 and 344



Oh!!!

Last time England set WI 344, Greenidge chased it down in 60 overs.

At the time, that was seen as a conservative declaration by Gower.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Good stuff Harry.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Now, can Root convert?

 

[slowfinger]

this is the partnership that has to click in the Ashes

Medicare sides struggle to back good sessions up throughout a test. Said the same for England in 2021.
