International Captain
He's doubled his overall century count from 17 to 35 in this last third of his career, a period roughly equal to 4 years and 50 Tests. That's some acceleration.

Silver Silva

Since Jan 2021 he has scored 18 test hundreds in 50 Tests @58.32
Coronis

Nobody else has scored 10 tons in that time (Kane has 9 @ 60 in 20 tests)
He’s also played 50 tests in that time (10 more than Crawley) (non-Eng Labu/Smith at 34)

Thats actually insane......imagine what he could have done if Bazball hadn't ruined him.

He was the top scorer in the world for the former as well as the latter.

Been ‘stuck’ on 64 half-centuries for a while now has Rooty!
Coronis
International Coach
Few years ago I’d have believed he’d lead the Fab Four in runs. Not in tons.

GIMH
Norwood's on Fire
Bit of a random one I just noticed. I was 90% sure when I saw that country by country breakdown for Root on the numbers and statsguru backed me up but there was some manual counting involved so please keep me honest but…
When Root debuted the record number of Test centuries for England was 22 - Cook had, I believe, just equalled it
Root now has 21 just at home.
Not sure that really means anything in itself but it just kind of struck me as powerfull
As you were GIMH x

Close, Cook had just equalled and then taken the record in the previous two tests vs India.

Norwood's on Fire
I knew he equalled it in that series. Went to innings by innings on cricinfo and clearly miscounted the equalling to be the second ton of the series not the first.
I regret nothing
Coronis
International Coach
Haha all g.
Cook had 3 consecutive matches with tons leading up to Root’s debut in that series. Impressive stuff.
