    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Speaking of Smith in general Joe Root needs to be careful now as he's entered his 130's now and we all know that's Smith's version of a Daddy Hundred where he packs it in and get out in dumbass fashion. Loads more runs out there for Joe.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Nasser Hussain said on air that there were was a reports of Bumrah tripping on the stairs during drinks break in the previous session. And that's why he stayed off the field." And I thought Williamson was cursed.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Honestly can't remember the last time Stokes actually hit a six. Much more content these days to grind out a 30-60 run score with a few bludgeoning boundaries interspersed between those dot balls.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Serious question: In the last 5 to 10 years how many injuries has Joe Root had that's sidelined him from cricket? Trying to think at the last 'bad one' or so. With just circa 2550 test runs to go and with England playing 10-14 tests per year he doesn't even need to average 45 runs per dig to...

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Williamson's been injured every way apart from being struck by lightning... There's always something to push him back... eg comes back from anterior cruciate ligament knee injury to miss 5 months and the start of the World Cup..... first innings back.... gets hit on the hand by a...

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Fair enough! You bookmarked my post a week or so where I thought he'll at least score 1 ton in Australia this time..... and maybe 2. I'll return in kind and bookmark this one when the series is over and we take a glimpse at his average after that.

    Lara has 2 double centuries in Australia.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    He did play some very very big innings when India really needed it from him & I certainly remember that valuable 4 runs he scored in total in the 2003 World Cup Final chasing Australia's 359 that day.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    ... Actually in recent times alot of the big records have fallen or been in danger Kohli passing Tendulkar's ODI number of centuries Patel taking 10 wickets in a test innings to be the 3rd ever Mulder nearly breaking Lara's record. Anderson becoming the record holder for a paceman over...

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Tell that to the 100,000 + crying fans at Ahmedabad when their home side chokes in the final.... and the rest of the nation.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    If Root matches Ponting here he'll do it in exactly the same amount of innings as Punter..

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    2 records that Tendulkar will keep even though he's lost quite a few over the years: 1.Most test centuries 2.Most ODI runs. 2 pretty big records actually of the game.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    I think it might've been an 11th hour emergency boardroom meeting by Burgey to strip him of that status after leaving Australian shores without another test century down under.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Anybody want to time capsule right now on how many centuries they think Root will finish up with? I think he'll go past Ponting.... not sure about Kallis... even if he does play on for another 3-4 years.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Amazing turnaround. One moment on 17 hundreds and now he's knocking on the door of 40. Did anyone predict that 5 years ago?

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    India can then say going into the decider that's as good as it's going to get & if they're good enough to snatch it,then so be it.They can lift with everything on the line However,by leaving him out and risking 3-1 then kills it then & there. He isn't there simply to win test matches.... but...
