3rd Test Border Gavaskar Trophy December 14-18 1050hrs @ The Gabba

Random question for the stats fanatics

When a player has 9 centuries and 17 50s (as Head now does) , are the 9 50s that they made in their centuries included in that total of 17 ? Or completely seperate?

Separate.

I'd give Marsh licence to go the tank.

 

[Magma]

Brad Haddin talking about bowling tonight, I mean come on mate...

One thing I've noticed that the Indians NEVER do is shake the hand or pat on the back of a bloke who's just gone out after making a ton.

We do it most times, as do kiwis and even poms.

Perfect opportunity as they all ran past him there, zilch. Not even a nod

Not often would a team do it for 101

That is more your 170+ innings

Mitch Marsh isn't there for a haircut.

Bison clinging to a test batting average of 30.

More like his clinging to that innings in England to keep getting picked.

 

[Sea fog]

Damn! Wanted Smith to get a big daddy hundred

Was unlikely given he was facing Bumrah with a new ball. The second part of his innings was against the metaphor of a pie shop. Good times don't last forever.

Finch doing the same on 7

Flog nation

Kohli shook Heads hand at tea.

Separate you can't double up .

Exactly same concept for double tons. Only one hundred counted.

 

[JimmyBC]

I reckon the Bison would destroy the tea room buffet.

The Nine comms were always twitchy about declarations to the point of obsession.

Glad to see Smith ton, but this innings is a pretty clear vision of where he's at.

Things went as possibly as they possibly could for him today: great condition, partner thriving. And he could only just get there, under suffrage, and rarely looked fluid.

 

[kenneje]

People are so ****ing sour on here. Marsh has been awesome since he came back in the team.

Christ, you make indiancricketfans posters look sane.

 

[ams4crows]

It's a shame Smith couldn't go on with it a touch

 

[ptrg]

Kohli shook Heads hand at tea.

Ironically, he's probably the most humble and friendly of the Indians (Bumrah looks similar but he walked straight past Smith without any congrats there so who knows).

Still, he didn't have any arguments or tiffs with them today that we saw, no real second chances, just a bloody hard fought century, and zero congratulations as he walked off.

Very poor

The English have cheated since day one. Biggest cheats in world sport. Not just cricket.

Sure they are.

I can’t think of another country that borders the Atlantic that has a terrible history with, for example, doping among its highest profile athletes and cyclists.

Smith actually had little to do with it. Warner was showing Bancroft how to scuff up the ball, Smith walked past, chuckled and said, "I don't want to know". Probably never thought they'd actually do it. His mistake was no asking what they were doing, ie leadership, and was punished.

Still, sandpaper did nothing. No-where near as affective as England's Murray's Mints. A couple of cm's of sandpaper would wear out before it did much. Unfortunately, it was deliberate attempt at cheating and were punished as they should be. In England they got MBE's for cheating.

Fair enough.
I am not the biggest or knowledge cricket fan I'll admit, so I defer to your expertise.


Maybe I was a tad harsh on Smith

I'm not necessarily a fan of his but he's actually had quite a few handy knocks since coming back in the side.

Christ, you make indiancricketfans posters look sane.

Same towards Smith's hundred. **** me dead at some of the comments.

Also I am a massive New England Patrots fan who survived the ordeal that was #deflategate FWIW
