The Interesting Scorecard Thread

[PhatBoy]

I can’t be f**ked posting it but check out the just completed Sri Lanka Bangladesh test.

Sri Lanka’s first innings - started with a collapse of 5-50, partnership of 200 with two centuries, then a collapse of 5-27 or something to finish all out for 280. They also made 400 in their second innings, ended up winning the match by heaps, with another two centuries. I’d be interested to know where it stands in matches where the highest percentage of runs has been made for a side by four wickets where 20 have fallen: beyond the four centuries made, only one other batsmen of 22 managed a score above 25

Of Sri Lanka's 698 runs across the test, 476 were scored by two guys. The other 18 at bats managed 222.

Right you are I didn’t even realise BOTH Sri Lankan centurions made both tonnes - I knew da Silva went back to back, didn’t realise Mendis made both of them.

That is a huge statistical anomaly

Great and interesting post.

Neville started his senior football career at Man United that very year of the article (was in their youth teem prior to that).

One of their best of all time.

Was a great batsman with an excellent first class record.

Apparently didn't play as many tests for NZ ('only' played 41) as he could have becuase he fell out with the Administrators:-

Those who criticise Turner for his withdrawal from international cricket would do well to remember that in 1976, when he led New Zealand to Pakistan and India, he was paid less than any other member of the side. Each member of the squad, all of whom were amateurs except Turner received a tour allowance, and all the amateurs were also paid at least something by their employers. As a professional cricketer there was no commercial organisation there to make up the shortfall for Turner. This ridiculous situation arose due to the reactionary thinking of the Board of Control, and completely overlooked that Turner was captain, and therefore had additional responsibilities, and that he was by some distance the dominant player in the squad. Most importantly of all no regard was had to the fact that he was the only one of the side who relied solely upon cricket for his living. It should therefore be of little surprise that with his benefit year looming at Worcestershire in 1978 he decided to concentrate on earning that living and from then until 1982/83 he made himself available only for the 1979 World Cup. On his all too brief return to international cricket there were only two more Test matches, both against Sri Lanka and in neither of those did Turner make a significant contribution, but there were also a number of ODIs in which he performed very well and which gave him the opportunity to demonstrate to the New Zealand administrators and supporters just what they had missed in his absence. As with a number of professional sportsmen he did, ultimately, go on a little too long, his appearance at the 1983 World Cup being far removed from the standards that he had set himself and that tournament brought down the curtain on his international career..

Didn't play a test for NZ between 1977 - 1983.

The list of 100 FC hundreds I have always found interesting from a point of view that Phil Mead , Graeme Hick; Mark Ramprakash and Andy Sandham all had mediocre test careers (although Sandham was the first test batsman to score a test triple century & Mead averaged 49 but only from a 17 tests).

Ramprakash averaged 27 and Hick 32 in tests. How they couldn't replicate their 1st class records to the test arena (especially Hick) always astounded me, given that they played in an era where most counties still had overseas test players playing and the standard was still high.

Interesting the Ramprakash and Hick made their test debuts in the same test

Footnote to the above - apparently Ramprakash had a bit of a temper...

During his early days as a professional cricketer, Ramprakash had a reputation as something of a mercurial and stormy character. Nicknamed "Bloodaxe" by Middlesex team-mates for his short temper, Ramprakash's younger days contrasted with the relaxed mellowness of his thirties. However, at times he continued to display the fiery temper that some say prevented him from fully succeeding at international level.

Despite being advised to keep his aggression at bay by teammates, including Graham Gooch[9] and Adam Hollioake[10] he often struggled to control it, resulting in verbal attacks and various dressing room tantrums.[11]
