Gus Fring yo!

First of many

 

[Molehill]

Crazy 2 Tests at Lord's for Atkinson, a fivefer, 10 wicket match and now a ton!!

 

[King Kane]

Gus brings up his ton in style with another textbook shot and at a run a ball too.

 

[MW1304]

Awesome stuff Gus, look at dem all-round figures

 

[BazBall21]

Chuffed for him. Hands down the best moment of the Test summer.

 

[slowfinger]

must be one of the fastest first centuries in test matches no?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done young man. Great effort. Some brilliant shots in it too.

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Congrats Gus, the first 50 of many!

The second fifty of many!

 

[ImpatientLime]

cricket is so dumb lol

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Genuinely less nervous than Root’s century lol

 

[mackembhoy]

@Red_Ink_Squid he's taking your boys mantle as the beautiful ATG all rounder at Lords

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Shame but a great partnership that. Now hopefully the last couple can hang around for Gus.

 

[King Kane]

Gus could run out of partners before he can get to 150 or 200, England might need to look at pushing him up the order.

Add "ATG mentor" to Woakes' resumé.

Why the hell would you not start with Asitha Fernando first up with a brand new ball ?

DDS's captaincy has been shocking in this match

 

[Silver Silva]

It would be interesting to find out which cricketer took the least amount of tests to have a 10-for and a test hundred in their Test career.

Atkinson surely the quickest,

Some legends go their whole career without a 10fer, some legends go their whole career without a test hundred..

For someone to have both after 5 Tests is insane !

On all 3 honours boards at Lord’s at the second time of asking after cruelly missing out by a mere 100 runs in his first innings with the bat against the West Indies

 

[Silver Silva]

Cricketers who have a 10for and a test hundred at Lords are Gubby Allen , Keith Miller , Ian Botham , Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes and now Gus Atkinson ..

That is some company.
