It is a flipin weird record though isn't it.

Nah my bad, should have made myself more clear.

Most wickets without a 5 wicket haul?

Most wickets without ever taking 10WM?

Dunno about the first, but I'd guess Big, Bad Bob Willis for most wickets without a 10-for. 325 from memory.

First of all, you don't know me, I am a real child in the real world. I'm 14 mate.

Then I'd have hoped that you'd be aware that there are children in this world who have difficulty counting in twos, never mind grasping concepts of time or distance or comparison. Unless of course you've been in a middle-class shelter all your life?

Correct there - there's a tie for second between Joel Garner and Jason Gillespie (259), while Gough, Lindwall, Streak and Thomson also have 200 or more.

Add Brett Lee to that list, 200+ wickets without at 10-fer

First of all, don't you dare try and judge me, for the simple fact that you don't know me. What makes you think that Middle-Class people are all somehow aware that 36 miles is a very long distance.

I am fully aware that there are some severly mentally challenged people and children in this world, my point was, was that any 10 year old kid who is really into cricket, has posted >350 posts on here, has probably got some clue about how far 36 miles is.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Here's a topical stat. Mike Hussey made more First Class Runs than any batsman before playing Test Cricket.

 

[Tomm NCCC]

W.G Grace once hitted a ball 36 miles.

hitted

I found out this the other day that New Zealands Chris Martin

He is the only player, on more than 100 test wickets, to not make more than 50 runs all together in his test career. Incredible.

Woah crap, your 14? There's a fact I didn't know you seem 28 to see your posts

Thank you

Right now you're doing a very good job of straw-man arguing. Where did I say that all middle class children knew how far 36 miles was? Nowhere. So why are you even pretending I'm claiming that? Oh yeah, to suit your own argument.

Can we get back to point a - "Even a severley mentally ******** 10 year old knows that nobody can hit a ball 35 Miles". Your quote. Verbatim. That was what I was picking you up on; not whether andmark genuinely believed it was a 36-mile hit or not.

You write like a 35yr old man

Just because somebody is, unlike you, capable of typing without performing a ritual massacre of both the English language and the rules of grammar, doesn't make it writing like a 35-year-old. Some of the most eloquent posters on this site are some of the youngest; it's time you got over yourself.

Ajit Agarkar has to be the crappest player ever to score a Test Hundred.

Oi

That's uncalled for.
