Who will score the next triple hundred in Test Cricket in the 2020's ?

[Silver Silva]

Last batsman to do so was David Warner in 2019

Dunno. I’d start by looking at the weaker bowling attacks future away series. Particularly in a country like Australia. The choose your favourite bat.

Sam Konstas, Test bolter

 

[Silver Silva]

I'm backing Jaiswal to do it

Someone like Brook could as he'd get it in about 250 balls. Not sure they'd bat long enough though as a declaration would ruin it.

Maybe rename this thread Part II or merge with the old one?

Who will score the next triple

5 in the 1930’s (Sandham 325, Bradman 334, Hammond 336*, Bradman 304, Hutton 364) 2 in the 1950’s (Hanif Mohamed 337 & Sobers 365*) 3 in the 1960s (Simpson 311, Edrich 310* and Cowper 307) 1 in the 1970’s (Rowe 302) 4 in the 1990’s (Gooch 333, Lara 375, Jayasuriya 340 & Taylor 334*) ...and now...

That would be my guess as well.

Adjusted it slightly to this decade only

Jaiswal seems a pretty good answer. Attacking openers for strong teams are bound to have the most opportunity.

He'd have a better shot if India could tour Pakistan though, on current evidence.

England have attacking openers, but approach doesn't lend itself to big individual scores very well and neither of the current pair are particularly convincing players on their own.

Seeing they're batting on a road, probably Root or Brook in their current innings vs Pakistan

Abrar might beat them to it

Brook

Jaiswal no chance he plays too many lose shots

Maybe if he gets pushed up the order? He’s a makeshift 4 this Test, I think in this instance, either ultra-aggressive batting to try to force a result or a declaration might hinder his chase for 300, probably be easier if England bat first

Tell that to Sehwag.

A cool day and 2/3rds of batting from a middle-order batsman can do it. Question is, are they willing to push it through the difficult phases and landmarks?

In all seriousness, I think there are less opportunities where it is good to go for / less harmful due to the more recent trend of lower scoring games. 1st innings pitches also can be a bit spicier. I think when it happens next it will be in the second innings (second team's first innings), after the first team puts up a healthy score in very quick time.

Joe Root.
