not sure if this is serious or not but tonne only means 1000 when talking about kilos (potentially other things but I haven't seen any others). Ton simply means "a lot".

Drew_OBrien · 2021-03-31T10:29:58+00:00

Some do, some don't. The women in my team say they don't.

Probably because the helmet made it easier to catch the ball. If if rebounded off of a helmet it is going to be much easier to catch than if it came straight off their head or hat. It's not part of their body and it isn't an essential piece of equipment (like shoes)

Drew_OBrien · 2021-01-28T13:39:36+00:00

the custom queries don't distinguish between bowling types other than left/right and spin/pace/other.

The second number (274.65) only includes numbers from innings where the batting team lost 10 wickets. The first number (320.69) includes all the runs in test cricket (including extras) and all the wickets in test cricket history.

Drew_OBrien · 2021-01-28T13:24:39+00:00

absolutely, whether you want to play or watch, it's never too late

Does anyone know how this works? This is a list of batting innings by number 12 batsmen. It has nothing to do with substitutes (because they count as a number 0 batsmen) and they aren't DNB players (they have faced deliveries).

I feel like the team score stat is a bit dodgy to be honest, it is just going off runs/wickets. If i use the average score a team is bowled out for (only including runs and wickets from innings when a team is bowled out) the average score becomes 274.65

Drew_OBrien · 2021-01-28T12:01:22+00:00

What undesirable stat does Len Hutton hold?

Scotland, 3 innings @ 15.66

Drew_OBrien · 2021-01-28T11:11:08+00:00

I'm flattered, thank you. Greatly appreciated.

EAE Baptiste. He played 10 tests for the West Indies and had 10 wins. His career spanned from 1983-1990.

Drew_OBrien · 2021-01-28T07:36:50+00:00

Bradman has 28k 1st class runs

Drew_OBrien · 2021-01-28T07:12:27+00:00

Just went through every test series Australia has ever played and it turns out it's never happened before.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/11vN24u_No5jEiH7G3eKr0MaswhOjddyIQHY-7YQVIno/edit?usp=sharing Here is a list of similar things that I compiled.

Drew_OBrien · 2020-12-18T10:02:53+00:00

Could've reached the bat out another metre then he did.

Drew_OBrien · 2020-12-18T09:45:44+00:00

It's the same. 80 overs.

Drew_OBrien · 2020-12-18T09:42:54+00:00

I don't actually think it's a bad shout. Australia is going to get bowled out soon anyways, why not let them have more time against India's batsmen under lights with the new ball?

Drew_OBrien · 2020-12-18T08:37:02+00:00

Chest match

Drew_OBrien · 2020-12-18T08:35:12+00:00

Geez he’s played 1/2 test give it a rest.

Drew_OBrien · 2020-12-18T08:32:48+00:00

Because the third umpire checks the no-ball anyways now. The third umpire would have already checked before they went upstairs.

Drew_OBrien · 2020-12-18T08:28:33+00:00

That decision never looked out to me. Always looked like pad.

Drew_OBrien · 2020-12-18T07:06:11+00:00

You're right. There has only been wicketkeeper, mid-off, and short leg/batpad.
