    DoG's Test Innings and Bowling Performances. Updates thread.

    I don't know if the innings are supposed to be ordered according to the numbers in the right-hand column, but if they are there are quite a few minor discrepancies.

    1992 World Cup draft

    The rules seemed to be "as for the 2019 World Cup draft", and the rule for that was "the only criteria is that eligible players must feature in one of the ten squads competing in the current CWC" (my emphasis).

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    From memory, I don't think it was anyone at all famous; it was someone who played a handful of matches for Yorkshire (or was even a 2nd XI player).

    Erroneous revisionism that needs to be corrected

    ‘Holding was usually magnificent – as was Wes Hall before him – and Garner and Ambrose were fortunate to be endowed with such long limbs.’

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Wardle seemed to have been good at falling out with people - famously with the Yorkshire committee, but I also remember a letter to a magazine from someone who said that, when he was a young player hoping to make his way in the Yorkshire team he'd spoken to Wardle, hoping for encouragement from...

    Your Country's XI who died during your lifetime

    Ah, forgot it was “players you’d seen”, not “players in your lifetime”... Wilson played one Test in NZ in 1971, seven years after his other Tests.

    Your Country's XI who died during your lifetime

    Graham Stevenson and (if wpdavid was born early in 1971) Don Wilson.

    CW decides the greatest ODI batsman ever (submit your own top 20 list)

    India didn't host any ODIs until late 1981, Garner was injured for the 1983-4 tour and had retired before the 1987 World Cup. Meanwhile, the West Indies played in the B&H triangular series in Australia in 1980, 1982, 1984 and 1985.

    OTOH, all of them except Lyon played at least 3 times in the 2010-11 series and England managed scores of 517-1, 620-5, 513 and 644.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Bear in mind that Kamran Akmal's dismissals-per-innings stat is 2.08. If you lower the criteria to 1000 runs at an average of 40, you get a few more candidates: AB de Villiers: 2067 @ 57 Andy Flower: 4404 @ 53 Adam Gilchrist: 5570 @ 47 Les Ames: 2387 @ 43 Dinesh Chandimal: 1602 @ 41 Kumar...

    Kohli has 82 (32 FC, 45 List A, 5 T20).

    Do your think wel ever see another player reach 100 FC hundreds again?

    If you include List A and T20 hundreds as well, another 12 players have reached 100: Tendulkar, Greenidge, Ponting, Mark Waugh, Lamb, Hayden, Gatting, Sangakkara, Kallicharran, Lehmann, Langer and Law. Trescothick is on 96.

    Ashok Mankad is another (50/25).

    Sheep Draft 7.0

    Not sure what's gone wrong here, but I was told I'd successfully picked Everton Weekes in Round 12. I am prepared to accept Garry Sobers as a replacement.

    Wastemen etc

    Shah and Andrew Strauss are the only pair to have had 3+ partnerships in Tests and all those partnerships were 100+; which is particularly surprising when Shah only scored 2 Test 50s. Oddly, two of the partnerships ended with Shah retiring hurt, so their partnership average is 366...

    Charles Davis's ball-by-ball account has a 5 by Bannerman in the 2nd Test but no sixes (by him or anyone else).

    IIRC, in Brearley's book of the 1978-9 Ashes tour, he reckoned he ran out Bairstow in the 5th ODI at the MCG while going for a sixth run.

    Thrilling draws/near draws

    "After tea England visibly slowed the over rate. In Brearley's defence, he was doing what numerous other captains have done over the years, and his two remaining quick bowlers* were tired. It did not stop the crowd jeering. In the half hour before the mandatory last 20 overs started, England...

    Boundaries

    I was reading "Wisden on Grace" recently, and it notes that in Grace's early career there were no boundary 4s and 6s, with everything being run out. Does anyone know when this changed? The 1884 Laws say the umpires will "arrange boundaries where necessary, and the allowances to be made for...
