Bowlers should have a cutoff too then, like 0 5fers or something

I feel for Ravindra , he made 2 in the first Test and now with the nightwatchman he has to wait that little longer ,I'm sure he's itching to get out there

Can probably throw Dipak Patel in with this lot.
He was actually a very classy looking batsman in general but never really cut the mustard.
If memory serves correct he had tears in his eyes as he walked back to the pavilion when he was run out for 99.

Willow TV on youtube has highlights: Highlights
Nice wicket collection for Foulkes. As long as it swings he will be a handful, especially to left handers. Leg slip/gully will be a good position when he bowls to right handers too.
Young was in total control until he played-on the same short medium pace ball that he'd already hit for four several times.

Beautifully set up by Gwandu.
Hmm, what I saw of him was fairly much what I expected. Shaped it initially, can bowl good balls with late movement, but also bowled a fair bit of floaty full stuff which was pretty easily handled. I don't see a Test bowler there and his batting isn't good enough for all-rounder status (yet). Definitely doesn't have the tools as a first change bowler at that level.
Nek minnit 2030 stats: Z.Foulkes, 250 Test wickets 8 centuries

Not sure he'll need to bat in this innings, let alone be out there long enough to retire on a double century.
I'll go 203, but that might be optimistic.
Which is crazy, really. At his peak, arguable that he is in the top 5 of our most skillful/effective pace bowler in Test history. Sir 431 obviously the runaway winner, then maybe Bond, Boult, Henry? Only Sir Richard over 100 wickets has Henry on career S/R (Bond and Jamieson also over 50 wickets)

Wait, they moved venue for day 5? Was this a regular thing back then?

I can see us winning by an innings so it'd be pretty funny if Duffy got 0 wickets but a 50 (or hundred) on debut. Instant pub quiz question.

I'm blaming you two for this, and not the beautiful classical styles of my man William Alexander Young.
