    Mundane sightings of high-profile cricketers

    I saw Darryl Cullinan in a bookshop once in Johannesburg. In London in 2022 I was staying at my friend's flat which is about a five minute walk from the Oval. There was a Hundred game on that evening and Graham Gooch was with someone at the cafe under her flat. Another time on that trip I was...

    That's not a bad side actually, I can live with that.

    Not a terrible squad v SL but I don't know why Paterson is there, and Harmer must count himself unlucky. Who could have been chosen ahead of Paterson though? Swanepoel or Pretorius?

    I mentioned him in my original post, he was one of the first that came to mind after Khan.

    Cricketing politicians

    I see Monty Panesar wants to stand for Parliament for George Galloway's Workers' Party. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13365835/monty-panesar-england-cricket-stand-mp-workers-party-britain.html That made me think, how many Test or international cricketers stood for Parliament in...

    Odds of Maphaka getting a senior cap before the end of the year? And someone on Twitter shared this as a potential T20 WC squad, it's not too bad but might fall short of non-cricket requirements. 1 QdK 2 Reeza 3 Markram 4 Klaasen 5 Miller 6 Stubbs 7 Jansen 8 Kesh 9 KG 10 Burger 11...

    SA Domestic History

    Easterns is maybe my second team, if that. Been Lions since I started supporting cricket and that was when Easterns were really kak, ha ha.

    Best and worst Triple Century and above knock ?

    South Africa's best-ever triple was Hashim Amla's 311* v England in 2012, which is also, coincidentally, the worst-ever triple for SA.

    As a rule of thumb, if SA Cricket Mag says something, then believe the opposite.

    SA Domestic History

    I think Pieter Strydom probably worse than both of them.

    Just like the old days, Jhb v CT to determine who is the strongest team in SA domestic cricket.

    I also thought about the Mohammeds but I see Shoaib's highest is a double, like you point out.

    Also, are Jimmy and Stephen the first father-son pair to score FC 300s?

    South Africa team selection

    By my reckoning Stubbs is now the 13th Saffa to score a 300 in FC cricket. Others: - Stephen Cook - Rilee Rossouw - Daryll Cullinan - Terence Lazard - Graeme Smith* - Jimmy Cook* - Barry Richards* - Hashim Amla - Eric Rowan - Andrea Agathangelou - Marco Marais - Tony de Zorzi * Scored in...

    Where do you find these stats. A little while ago I was looking at stats for SA FC cricket and Wikipedia and Cricinfo was out of date. I actually updated the Wikipedia page on SA cricket records after De Zorzi got his trip but it's such a mission, it's like low-level coding (to me at least).

    Mike Procter dead at 77

    Just had a look at some random games from the 1970s in the Currie Cup, looks like it was three days.

    Mike Procter dead at 77

    I think they were also played over three days until the 1980s sometime. Will need to check.
