Thanks again. I'm surprised at Atherton's 9 though. Off the top of my head: 1 in 1993, 3 in 1994/95, 3 in 1997 and 1 in 2001 when Hussain was injured. Any idea where I'm missing one?

2 in 2001

Ask cricinfo ?

Cheers. I'd forgotten that he led the side twice in 2001, not once. Either way, Root will probably overtake him by the end of this series.

I mean it makes a high farce of the format when "bowling your overs on time" is given basically the same weight as drawing a game.

yeah i don't know who let boomer commentators decide the points system but i wish they would fix it

real talk that's a bit dog**** that, for example, haseeb hameed and dawid malan have to cop the full fine given they're pure batsmen

the captain's gotta be the one who the fine falls on here nobody else.

tbf we should also ring root up on the Racial Discrimination Act ss 18C and 18E but that's not a conversation many are ready to have yet

You and I will be having a conversation if you continue this line of posting ****.

Ashes series did so much damage to Atherton's reputation as a player, captain, batsman
