    Funny you used that when Ramadhin still has the record for "most balls bowled in an innings" (588) - did you want to highlight one of his better days?

    100 Test teams have had 7 players with a (final) batting average of 40+: - 78 involved Adam Gilchrist - 15 involved Matt Prior - 4 involved Les Ames (Hutton, Edrich, Gibb, Hammond, Paynter, Valentine, Ames each time) - 2 involved Greg Matthews (Taylor, Boon, Waugh x2, Martyn, Border, Matthews) -...

    Strongest Xl that actually played together...

    If they'd picked Woolley (there were some who thought he should have been picked for this tour) instead of Jardine/Chapman, they'd have had 6 of the 7 men who scored 50,000 FC runs in their careers.

    Cataloguing the best innings of X runs in test history

    Also worth a mention is Hutton's somewhat out-of-character 37 in 24 minutes at Sydney in 1946/7, which apparently was so stylish it reminded the older spectators of Victor Trumper.

    Establishing the best decade for cricket: Finding the ATG XI from 12 decades of test cricket - then having a KO tourney to decide the best

    I think it's reckoned he lacked the stamina for a long tour in 1928-9 - hence 8 wickets in the 1st Test, 4 in each of the next two and 1 in each of the last two. (As one of 4 main bowlers - 3 in the first Test - being picked in a Timeless Test series, stamina would be pretty vital).

    Test draft - players can only be picked from 3 nominated countries and decades

    If I've got the following correct, most people have now picked all their decades and teams: AndrewB: 1890s, 1900s, 1960s - Aus, Eng, SA mr_mister: 1920s, 1940s, 1970s - Aus, Eng, WI Pothas: 1920s, 1960s, 1970s - Eng, WI Line and Length: 1920s, 1960s, 1990s - Aus, Eng, SA Ankitj: 1930s, 1980s...

    John Emburey

    Gooch wasn't really a major factor - his average under Brearley was 31. The only win where he could claim to have made a major contribution was the 1978 Oval Test against NZ (91* out of 138-3 in the 2nd innings - not a big target, but England had failed to reach a target of 137 against NZ...
