    ITC was right all along. HCSI

    **Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

    India have only once in their history won a match after being bowled out for 150 or less in the first innings. That was also against Australia, in Mumbai 2004. A team winning away after being <150 all out in the first innings has happened 12 times across all teams, 7 of which were in the 19th...

    **Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

    Is this game being simmed by ITC?

    Herbert Sutcliffe vs Jack Hobbs

    The Wisden from this match doesn't mention this record, it actually gives him a different one - 'his seventh test match 100, beating McLaren's record'. Which is an interesting reminder that they were using completely different stats at the time. By our records this was Hobbs' 9th ton, beating...

    Herbert Sutcliffe vs Jack Hobbs

    At the point where Hobbs became the leading run scorer in Test cricket (after hitting a ton at the MCG in 1924) he averaged 58, which is about 20 more than anyone who was close in terms of runs.

    10 fors by NZ spinners

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    It wouldn't shock me if India chased 300 to win, though they look pretty out of kilter right now so not expected. More like 350+ though and that's into the territory of 4th innings chases where you're never really winning, just not lost yet.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Turns out all NZ had to do was keep Gary Stead and get rid of Kane Williamson.

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    That was Crawley/Duckett's 14th 50+ first wicket stand, which is joint 7th most for England. They've opened together 38 times. Also scoring 14 such opening partnerships for England are Boycott/Edrich (35 innings), Boycott/Gooch (49) and Atherton/Stewart (50). Cook and Strauss got 30 in 117...

    England XI vs South Africa XI (since 1990)

    The day you start posting actual opinions instead of whatever slimy, disingenuous **** all this is, feel free to tag me for chat. In the mean time, piss off. Oh and also delete your account

    Change it to 2003.

    England XI vs Pakistan XI (since 1970)

    Date is obviously cherry picked to include Pakistan's best players in Imran and Miandad while ruling out most of the best England players they played against like Knott, Boycott and Underwood.

    *Official* South Africa in Bangladesh: Two Test Series, 21-25 Oct, 29 Oct-2 Nov 2024

    Danny Morrison is a pretty interesting example. The Chris Woakes of his era it seems. You would have expected a bowler of his ilk to do okay in England at least, especially given the calibre of England sides of the era.

    *Official* South Africa in Bangladesh: Two Test Series, 21-25 Oct, 29 Oct-2 Nov 2024

    Taijul Islam definitely has one of the biggest discrepancies between home and away of any bowler with 200+ wickets. Over 20 fewer runs paid for each of his home scalps, and over 80% of the overall total. I don't intend this as criticism, just a notable feature. It's pretty much the same...

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    This is the first 300 run lead for a touring side in India since SA in Nagpur, 2010, which was 325. Overall record is a 490 run lead by the West Indies in 1958. Kolkata 2001, which is the biggest lead India have overturned for a win, was 274. Biggest lead ever overturned for a win is Australia...

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    This is already the highest 1st innings lead for teams touring India since 2017, when Sri Lanka got a lead of 122 in Koltaka. Assuming NZ beat that, it'll be the highest since 2012, i.e. the last time India lost a series at home. List
