Gooch v Chanderpaul

[sayon basak]

No such acts shouldn't be done.Some people say Sachin,Dhoni,Lara played many selfish innings.Even if he is selfish it doesn't make him lunatic player.Just say "if he batted more fast like SR 50-55 his average will be below 48 or 47"

47/48 sounds too good tbh, considering the fact that his RPI is 42.

Lara was indeed a bit up his own ass but his batting made up for it so I don't really care.

And how did Dhoni come up in this?

40 odd without minnow bashing too.

the batter should face more than 62% of deliveries of the final wicket partnership if you ask me.

1981 Ashes. 5th Test. Border scores 123*.

10th wicket stand..

Border faces 41 balls
Whitney faces 32 balls.

I know you wouldn’t call Border selfish however.

I wonder what makes you so sure of that...

but from raw memory, the game was dusted when Lillee got out.

**** me the hypocrisy. How many of those games did Chanders have a shot at winning? But its ok for Border to be selfish when the game is “dusted” but not Shiv?

Shiv gets a ridiculous amount of unjustified hate imo.

Perera’s 153*.
Fernando faced 27 balls.

Graham Gooch

123* vs Roberts, Holding, Garner & Croft
116 vs Roberts, Holding, Garner & Croft
153 vs Marshall, Holding, Garner & Croft
146 vs Marshall, Patterson, Walsh & Ambrose
154 vs Marshall, Patterson, Walsh & Ambrose

As an opener too. Three of those came on snake pits. He only had one series v them where he averaged below 39 and that was still a respectable performance on some dreadful uneven wickets.
