350 will take that from 297 for 8.

And from 2-2.

Whats Broad's batting years ago got to do with his bowling this morning?

It's regressed so far that No. 11s are playing shots he could only dream of.

In a lot of ways these two sides are similar. There's an unproven opener, a proven opener, a wunderkind, an out of form rock, a hard-hitting No. 6, an off spinner who's really good at batting, a No. 9 who should be No. 11, a promising quick with a nice action in his debut series and a bowling spearhead who is at less than peak effectiveness.

Some unknown CW person on my first day on this site posted that scores of 330-340 in the first inning create the best test matches. Lets see if a score of 350 leads to an exciting one.

Highest runrate in the first innings when bowled out in less than 90 overs.

Is that the most expensive (in terms of ER) 5fer ever?

Yes. Only the second instance in Test history where a player has conceded more than 6 an over and taken 5.

Without checking Statsguru, a prize if anyone can name the other player to have taken 5 in an innings whilst conceding more than a run a ball.

No must be Finn surely!

 

[Furball]

Ishant Sharma or Shami

Nope.

The aforementioned McGrath 5 at Old Trafford is 7th in this particular list. 20.5-1-115-5 that innings.

edit: not Finn either.

 

[Shady Slim]

Some Bangladesh seamer?

 

[NZTailender]

McGrath had a shocker at Old Trafford in 2005 but IIRC that was 5.5 an over.

It's the most expensive.

Edges out Steyn, of all people.
