All over today?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Yes Windies!!!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That throw was impeccable

 

[GotSpin]

Kyle Mayerssss

 

[Lillian Thomson]

That was comical. He practically just lobbed the throw back he had so much time.

 

[Gremlin]

Ah. As if gifting wickets with abject batting wasn't enough...

 

[Fuller Pilch]

How is Kyle Mathers not in the top 20 list of all rounders when Tim "should be batting 11" Southee is ranked 16th? He's had a very good test so far.

 

[Gremlin]

What's the lowest score for an opener to carry his bat?

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Lees could carry his bat and not make it to 35 at this rate.

Edit: just beaten by Gremlin to the same thought.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Well done Da Silva. Keep going!

And he did. He will remember today for a long time.

He should be...at least these numbers that he's putting up now. But let's see.

Great minds....

It's horrid innit!

26* in a score of 47 by Bernard Tancred for SA vs England in 1889.

That was the 1st example of someone carrying their bat in tests (thanks Wikipedia).

Post WW2 it is 43* by Glenn Turner out of 131 for NZ vs England in 1969.

Just when you thought it was impossible to go lower we manage it.A strokeless wonder is going to be our top scorer and he has been dropped.Root must resign today and I do not care who comes in because they can’t be worse than Root as a captain.I thought Collingwood would be a strict disciplinarian but it looks like same old

 

[Gremlin]

England lead!

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Just another fifty tenth-wicket stand and there'll be a competitive total

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Mayers!!!!!

Woooo!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Just another fifty tenth-wicket stand and there'll be a competitive total

We're almost there

 

[Lillian Thomson]

This is actually too funny to even be depressing.

Interesting re strike rates:


Dom Sibley: 34.22
Haseeb Hameed: 32.02
Alex Lees: 27.41

And Lees is gooooone
