*Official* Third Test at Edgbaston

Wow. Some bouncer.

Raina caught in two minds, but actually did ok with it in the end. By his low standards, obvz.

Just on the Cook > India thing: he exceded their first innings total by 70. Is that some kind of record? Can't be too many occasions when a batsman in reply has scored that many more than the entire oppo.

Off the top of my head i'm sure BCL's 400 would have had more. Didn't we get like 280?

Would sum up the series pretty well if Anderson got Tendulkar stumped.

Trott at Melbourne was the same, 70 ahead. And not out.

Sharjah + Hayden comes to mind. Triggered a "Hayden beats Pakistan by an innings" headline or something like it.

Good shout. Hayden actaully only beat Pakistan's first innings effort by 60 tho, although beating both their inningscombined on his own must be unprecedented, surely?

I think Hayden scored more in one innings than Pakistan did in two digs. I stand to be corrected though.
.

That was such an ignominious encounter

Jayawardene's 374 in reply to SA's 169 is probably the record for what Brumby is talking about.

[Howe_zat]

Also, Hutton's 364 must have been up there. Record victory and all that.

As opposed to this one?

Mm, was wondering about it and I can't recall any other instances. My historical knowledge is rubbish though so that may not mean much.

EDIT: Not quite right, is Broad? Seems to have lost an element of the unerring accuracy from earlier.

Windies batted first tho. Pretty sure, anyway.

Think Adam might've nailed the answer.

 

[smash84]

this one isn't THAT bad.

IIRC Pak folded for 58 and 52 in the same match ....pathetic....even by Pak's pathetic batting standards

 

[GIMH]

Yeah they did, because we followed on

 

[Spark]

Haha that's an ugly mow. This could be interesting.

 

[91Jmay]

Yep good shout. Vaughny tonned up following on.

 

[GIMH]

ooooh

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

The scores are even!

 

[Spark]

Christ, that's a ball. Did it drop short or was it dropped?

 

[Jacknife]

Should have had that Strauss.

 

[GIMH]

Strauss's fielding has been poor at times
