Dat moment when you realise that MJ has taken 16-143 this series...

He's on track to break the record for the most wickets in a series! Not that he will, don't think anyone will ever top Barnes' 49.

woah, just averages a casual five fa every innings,  :o 8)

Barnes was a freak, his statistics are like way off the charts haha.
The only player to even get forty this century is Warne, who got 40 exactly.

Sounds like an absolute beast, averaged 3.5 wickets per innings! Only played 27 tests because apparently he preferred playing county cricket where he took 1432 wickets with a strike rate of less than 9,  8)

A strike rate of less than 9?! So he took a wicket every balls? I don't think so. Cricinfo says his first class strike rate was about 43, not 9.

His average was 9, not his strike rate :)

Cook, what a hack  ;D

[Bill Manspeaker]

flower yeah. good start Mitchy

[PowerBug]

Ballance has to play the 3rd test, I do not care who gets dropped, but he must play, because he will score runs, I can guarantee it! Mitchy J will have no answers to Gary Ballance, he's not as crap as the current shower that England call test players...

[Bill Manspeaker]

Ballance has gotta be a shoe in to play in Perth.

2 really good catches this morning. keep em comin

[Nails]

Gary Ballance will be known as Gary Ballsup after his golden pair on debut.

[Vinny]

What a start! Nice work fellas. 8)

If he gets a golden pair (Two first ballers) I will sell my whole FTP squad.



Has there been an LBW yet this match? I haven't watched or listened to a ball for the last two days, I'm still pissed about Ballance not playing this test so I'm refusing to find out the scores myself, I just know whatever people tell me.

There's been one, MJ to Stokes

[PowerBug]

Another thought. Ian Bell moves to three, Root will bat at five, Ballance at six, Bairstow at seven. If you want a perfect middle order, this is the way to play it. Root, Ballance and Bairstow all grew up playing together at Yorkshire, and all are pretty goo mates with eachother, it'll be just like they were playing at Leeds oval again. ^_^

Lol PB just because they're good mates doesn't mean they'll play well. I guess though picking the team based on who their mates are is a good a strategy as any for england now though  :P

[PowerBug]

Team chemistry. ;) And wanna go one further, Tim Bresnan is also a Yorkshire player, 5-8 all Yorkshire. They should legit do it. :P Actually, just send over the whole Yorkshire team and play them all instead of the current lot. :P


Diod Steve Smith makes runs/take wickets yesterday? :(
