Only 3 players have passed 50 100 times in test cricket. You'll never guess who's poised to join them sat on 99 right now. And if that person gets 5 more mentions on the IR Bell Pretty Little Fifties thread he'll pass Sachin to have the most half centuries of all time.Just the 19 to go for Marnus!
Always interesting to see Shiv in these lists.Update:
