Who will score the next triple hundred in Test Cricket in the 2020's ?

[Thala_0710]

Can see some Pak top order batter doing it in the future on a road not dissimilar to the current ENG game

 

[Coronis]

A cool day and 2/3rds of batting from a middle-order batsman can do it. Question is, are they willing to push it through the difficult phases and landmarks?

I think the real question is if England is prepared to declare or not.

To win the game or to chase milestones?

I haven’t been paying attention to the test but a result looks relatively unlikely. We’ll find out tomorrow if the team can truly push for a result for Bazball without Stokes.

You don't have to look far to see what this team's philosophy is. They are in the 'win first' business.

Then yeah I doubt Brook would make it. And they’ll probs be wanting to declare before Root makes it

Even if it ends up with England losing, they’ll always go for the win and not chase personal milestones. Come to think about it, apart from Pope against Ireland when was the last England double centurion? We get a lot of very pretty, and actually sometimes pretty effective, scores, but few really big scores

Pope has the two highest scores for 'this' England team, with 205 vs Ireland and his 196 in India.

The last doubles before that were Root's two in Sri Lanka and India at the start of 2021, Crawley's day out in the lockdown tests against Pakistan, and before that Root again in NZ in 2019.

 

[Molehill]

England will probably try and bat 2 sessions tomorrow, if Brook stays in for those he’d have a chance given how aggressive it’s likely to get.

 

[Tom Flint]

Conway could be added to the poll. I wouldn't vote for him but more likely than kW.

Zak really should have got one at Old Trafford in the last Ashes. Bummer

 

[ashley bach]

This thread perfectly set up for Lord Joe and could happen sometime later today.

Rooooooooooooot

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Far more interested in who will score the next Sheffield Shield triple

Whoever it is, will probably be a less interesting trivia answer than Liam Davis

 

[shortpitched713]

We're already mostly through 2024, and there's only like another 5 years to go in the 2020s, maybe it won't happen at all this decade? I wonder how what odds I could get on a wager like that?

Last decade that didn't have a triple hundred was the 80's so has happened before

Williamson has 6 double hundreds , certainly capable

Ryan Carters comeback IMO.

 

[sayon basak]

Let's see what happens today.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Ryan Carters comeback IMO.

Yeah, that would definitely be interesting, no doubt about that


He's still only 34 tbf. Must admit that did surprise me a little, feels like ages since he was playing
