Let me remind you, you're posting on a Cricket forum too. You're not quite Marlon Brando yourself.

I meant it as a compliment. I'm impressed.

Only one player in the history of the game has batted 100 or more innings in the top 6 and scored fewer than Shane Watson's mighty tally of 4 Test centuries. Name that player.

like, just reading it makes you wonder how it's even possible.

even Mohammad Ashraful managed 6 tons

even Mohammad Ashraful managed 6 tons

Was just about to guess him

Maybe it's a trick question and its something like 'Botham, who actually scored most of his tons at 7'

 

[morgieb]

Ashraful as bad as he was actually played some cracking innings from time to time.

Looked this up yesterday. Morgie was right.

Yeah I looked it up as soon as I posted it. Only way I'm wrong is if he batted below 6 a few times....which would be weird.

 

[Furball]

You're correct.

Cricket - Ashes century scorers since 1981 Quiz - By iDom

Got 169. Struggled with the 1980s Australians

 

[Pothas]

176 for me, again the 85 series was the big fail, had not even heard of a couple of those.

 

[Burgey]

Dirk Wellham often rightly forgotten.

 

[Cabinet96]

149. Apparently people other than Allan Border scored tons in the 1980s, which I didn't know about. I probably should have got Broad, missed Stewart at the MCG as well, which was the more recent one I missed. Forgot about the likes of Blewit, Boon and Gatting.

Half of them would've been at Perth in 06. Can only remember three of the dismissals in that game though.

 

[morgieb]

179. Probably should've remembered the ones I missed actually. Fluked one lol.

eight out of the fourteen were, yes, but can you name them

panesar has an awful ashes bowling record actually, tbh out of his six matches only five yielded any wickets, and even then two of those were only one wicket each.

ave 53.64

sr 83.7

econ 3.84

remember statsguru-ing is cheating

 

[Furball]

Did he not bowl Langer almost immediately at Perth in 06?
