    Most unceremonious exits from international cricket

    His batting wasn't too bad in the 1987 series, averaging 33 (actually more than he did in the Ashes, so little did he do there after the first Test hundred). As I recall, his 4-hour 51* in the last Test of the summer led to suggestions that, if he realised he was now going to be playing...

    Most unceremonious exits from international cricket

    According to Swanton's book of the series, Headley still had a sound defence but had "lost many of his strokes". He scored 53* for Jamaica in the warm-up game, which might have encouraged them to think he was still up to the task.

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

    Charles Davis's database basically confirms this: for the 1881-2 series (in which the first and last Tests were drawn) it says the matches were "Advertised as timeless but effectively limited to four days". Apparently the England team toured New Zealand between the first two Tests. Presumably...

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Some unusual all-round feats: Only two players have both scored a double hundred and conceded 200 in an innings in Test cricket: Vinoo Mankad and Ian Botham. Remarkably, Mankad performed each feat twice - apart from Mankad, only Saqlain Mushtaq and Yasir Shah (3) have even achieved the conceding...

    Bad cricketers who played too long

    He wasn't really dropped for the *final* - he played in 5 of the first 7 group matches, then he (and Vince) we dropped, and England were then unchanged for their last 4 matches.

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

    The last 3-day Tests in England (and I think anywhere) were in 1949. They’d switched to 4-day Ashes Tests in 1930. I don’t know when Tests in Australia became timeless but they had no draws between 1882 and 1947.
