    **Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

    Nah He wouldn't have bowled yet because he'd be on 150* after rescuing England's 1st innings

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    I think he has basically the same amount of 90s as centuries!

    Is this one of the funniest graphics produced by ESPN Cricinfo?

    That's accounted for in the graph by Root's thighs being included, rather than being shown from the waist up like the others :happy:

    Which ridiculous Bazball win is the best?

    Trent Bridge for me. It's probably actually the least impressive of the four, but it's my favourite for the way the winning passage of play just exploded out of nowhere was incredible

    Best Ever Bangladesh Test Innings

    So good an innings it took an entire new thread to jinx it, having proved immune to the standard jinx posts in the match thread

    Bring back the run box in the corner of our screens.

    First supersub = Vikram Solanki Checks out

    Graham Thorpe dies aged 55

    This is just horrible. Huge respect for his family for coming out with the news at what must surely be the hardest time of their lives

    Graham Thorpe dies aged 55

    Horrible loss. Whilst I didn't actually watch (or at least remember watching) him play as much as I'd liked to have hindsight during the couple of years his career overlapped with me discovering cricket, I did (and I think it's as simple as case of his being called Graham, like my dad, haha)...

    Windies Team Discussion, and Other Related Things Thread

    Who have you got as possible replacements? McKeznzie and A Joseph *have* to go imo, Brathwaite and Holder would go to in an ideal world but have the advantage of relatively acceptable records to save them if there's not a someone at least fairly like-for-like to come in. Although for Holder, you...

    *Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

    Gone for scans of his hand, I think

    *Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

    The 42 byes in Ireland's first innings too!

    *Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

    I think he gets publically overrated by former teammates etc but I don't know if that's genuine or just not not wanting to say anything bad against a former mate/player. Lots of casual fans in my experience just remember him as soft/minnow-bashing Bell which was not unreasonable for a decent...

    *Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

    That ratio would be a decent amount higher since he started batting at 3 tbf. No guarantee that it will continue, and you can't really just ignore the first, bad part of his career for ratings/comparisons as it's not like he was stupidly young/had a baptism by fire or anything like that, but his...

    *Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

    In 2017, they had a horrendous first test before winning the second, and the third looked like a bit of a crapshoot before our chase was remarkably smooth, so on that basis (I'll ignore facts like there being loads of different players with different experience/prep) a competitive series may...

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Apart from when I've looked up older and more expensive examples, that's the most runs I think I've ever seen an over go for

    English Domestic Season 2024

    At Taunton, lovely day for it :) And I did wonder about that record!

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Double now and making it look unbelievably easy. Admittedly the bowling hasn't looked up to much
  18. Bijed

    English Domestic Season 2024

    A century right on cue! Has looked very good after some luck with a couple of very loose shots early on
  19. Bijed

    English Domestic Season 2024

    First time today seeing Zak Crawley in action, which is quite nice :)

    Jones-Flintoff-Hoggard-Harmison vs Jamieson-Boult-Southee-Wagner

    26.88 if I've worked it out right (do we say the impact of playing in a batting-friendly era is roughly cancelled out by 2 of their 16 tests together being against Bangladesh?). Which is very solid but probably worse than people would generally imagine they'd averaged together?
