well done Michael Vaughan

 

[roseboy64]

Good knock.

 

[GIMH]

16 tons, that's not too shabby

 

[Fiery]

16 tons, that's not too shabby

I wonder if he would swap a few of those OD tons if he could?

He's gone now as I type

 

[Scaly piscine]

There we go, it took Vaughan 70-80 runs more than I expected mind.

Pillock.

Even more impressive is his conversion ratio. 16 Test hundreds but 'only' 14 fifties. When he gets going he has always been one of the best players in the world for my money. Just a question of how often he can get into that form.


And as I type that he is out. Oh well, still a teriffic innings.

Yeah what a plonker! Hundred and out, waste of space.

Michael Vaughan scores a very good ton and he's a pillock? No pleasing some

 

[aussie]

Great comeback from Vaughan, as Atherton is saying he has proved he can still score runs in test cricket, now for his examination in the field.

 

[GIMH]

We always seem to score 100 then get out

By we, I mean our batsmen

By our batsmen, I mean English players

I think EXD's one earlier is better, though:

Undoubted Greigy, surely.

I think we need a new award, for people who keep on going and going and yet never gets even a tap on the wrist. I'll call it a Motson, do you think that'll make the cut for the next CW awards presentation?

He did well to get a hundred.

He did well to get a hundred.

Congrats on missing the sarcasm...

Bit harsh mate but I'm guessing that was said slightly tongue in cheek.

 

[grecian]

Colly, lucky again. Can't believe against a new batsman, you don't have a third slip.

Getting out like that is why he averages low 40s instead of high 40s or early 50s. Your job isn't over when you take a fifth wicket or reach 100.

A touch unlucky really, would have gone for 6 but there was a fielder in the way

Actually agree to an extent, but it doesn't detract from the fact that it was a good innings. No need to call him a pillock, but it would be nice to see our batsmen stay out there a bit longer once they've passed 100

Off the top of my head:

Flintoff V Aus @ Trent Bridge
Pietersen V Pak @ Faisalabad
Most of Cook's tons
Strauss quite a lot of the time
Vaughan today

100 then out. Let's see some big hundreds.

 

[GIMH]

Pietersen has three 158s. If ever there was a chance to better those...

I'll keep this avatar for two extra weeks if he scores 159 or more

Andrew Miller says: "Excluding Sachin Tendulkar, Vaughan is the first Frenchman since Boycott in 1977 to make a Test hundred at Headingley."
