    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    There was the famous match in 1904 when Perrin scored 343 for Essex, but Ollivierre scored 229 for Derbyshire, Essex collapsed in the second innings and Derbyshire had to score 147 in the last session.

    Apologies for continuing this thread drift, but for completeness: - Charles Bannerman was the first of 13 batsmen scored 100 against the only other Test team back when it was just England and Australia. (Curiously, none of these 13 ever scored 100 against South Africa). - Bobby Abel was the...

    I've mentioned it in other threads, but WG Grace scoring 1000 runs and taking 100 wickets in the space of 11 matches at the end of the 1874 season must qualify (including a ridiculous run of 7 matches in which he scores 6 hundreds and took 6 10-fors).

    He also held 24 catches in that series. Lindsay's 66-67 series is one of the examples in the Purple Patches book.

    New Feature: Cricketing Myths by Patrick Ferriday

    Reliable sources say that the occasion when Bradman was dropped by Walter Robins during the 1936-7 Ashes and captain Gubby Allen said to Robins "Don't worry, you've probably just cost us the Ashes" was during the 2nd Test, which England in fact won, so the dropped catch was irrelevant. Many...
