    The Great Allrounders in County Cricket

    Hadlee was given a benefit season by Notts in 1986 but he didn't want to just take the money and run: he felt he owed them one more season, 1987, which turned out to be his greatest for them. He topped the bowling averages, came third in the batting averages, and had the best all-round...

    The Great Allrounders in County Cricket

    I never really gave it much thought, I just noticed that Curran's conversion rate from 50 to 100 really dropped off once he was at Northants but your post has got me thinking (and perhaps irresponsibly speculating) a bit more. In 139 matches at Gloucestershire, he passed 50 a total of 16 + 27 =...

    He did have Rice helping him out and missed that level of penetrative support in Tests.

    I'm sorry, I was being a bit dim. You were probably lamenting his absence from the list.

    The Great Allrounders in County Cricket

    Very poor, he should have caught every one of those sixes before they made it out of the ground! (I'm not qualified to answer the question seriously!)

    Thanks! OK, his stats at home are better but still incredible away.

    The Great Allrounders in County Cricket

    Yes, for Notts: versus Glamorgan: " On 31 August 1968, Sobers became the first batsman ever to hit six sixes in a single over of six consecutive balls in first-class cricket. Sobers hit the first four balls cleanly out of the ground but was caught on his fifth attempt by Roger Davis on the...

    The Great Allrounders in County Cricket

    Thank you for this information! As a big Hadlee fan, I knew that he had incredible bowling stats in CC. However, I also know that, as Hadlee's Notts team-mate Derek Randall said (in an August 2013 interview at...

    Richard Hadlee vs Imran Khan

    When that comet arcs around the Sun, it won't be because of gravity, it'll be because Imran is on it and scratching away at it like it's an old ball, also causing it to break up! Afterwards, he'll be posthumously awarded the ultimate accolade of Player of the Solar System for his efforts!

    Sorry! You've marked my post with an Info icon but I now suspect that it was the sort of "seminal" information you did not care to know about!

    Botham Vs Viv Richards

    Revitive is not Botham's first excursion into medical matters. He admitted eight years ago to undergoing four sessions of shockwave therapy as a preventive measure against potential future ED. I now wonder whether he's also applied Revitive to his nether regions to get the blood flowing down there!

    I have a hard time believing that Lord Botham is currently the better cricketer unless Viv is in a wheelchair or something:

    It certainly won't be after I make up 100 fake IDs and have each one voting for Lord Botham!
