- At the rain break, Ban 0-66 off 7 overs, 17 runs ahead of par. When they resume they need an overall run rate of 9.44 to win, when the original run rate required was 9.25. Go figure.
- This is weird! There are four players with between 9000 and 10000 Test runs. 9282 HAmla 9276 KWilliamson 9265 GSmith 9230 VKohli Just 52 runs between them. No one else between 9000 and 9230. No one else between 9282 and 10000.
- 367,634 - attendance at the first 18 BBL games this season 373,691 - attendance at 5 days of Test cricket recently.
- Tim David's diary over the past week: 27 Jan: Hobart Hurricanes, Hobart 29 Jan: Gulf Giants, Dubai 31 Jan: Gulf Giants, Dubai 01 Feb: Gulf Giants, Abu Dhabi 03 Feb: Rangpur Riders, Dhaka That's 15,816 km to score 26 runs off 28 balls, with two fours and a six.
- Mins batted in #AusvInd 679 Khawaja, Head 641 Paine 584 Harris 583 Cummins 564 SMarsh 342 Finch 301 Handscomb+MMarsh 1321 Pujara 897 Kohli 559 Rahane 402 Pant 384 Agarwal (1 Test) 312 Vihari (2 Tests) 300 RSharma (2 Tests) So Pujara has batted 2 x as long as any Aussie.
- Edgbaston stats: Aus 668 runs off 1252 balls, losing 18 wickets. Eng 666 runs off 866 balls, losing 18 wickets. Aus 37.11 runs/wkt, 53.35 runs/100 balls. Eng 37.00 runs/wkt, 76.91 runs/100 balls Aus 68 fours, 11 sixes Eng 67 fours, 7 sixes
- After two Tests, Australia have faced 654 more balls to score 45 more runs than England, losing the same number of wickets.
- In less than a month of Test cricket, Jonny Bairstow has made 583 runs off exactly...583 balls....
- Totally unacceptable, Australia. These guys are our guests, and must be treated with respect.
- My database has just selected the Test team of the decade. It doesn't have emotions or favourites, only data. It just does it. DWarner ACook SSmith VKohli KWilliamson KSangakkara BWatling RAshwin VPhilander PCummins JAnderson
- Don Bradman batted on 110 different days in Tests, but never on a Sunday. His best days were Friday (1932 runs @ 241.50) and Tuesday (1434 @ 239.00). On no other day did he average 100. He was always dismissed when he batted on a Wednesday, averaging a mere 33.25 on that day.
- DWarner needs 125 runs if he is dismissed once in the Sydney Test to finish with a Test average of 45. It's 170 needed if he is dismissed twice. He also needs 10,993 (if dismissed twice) to match Bradman's Test average. This is less likely.
