ICC World Test Championship

Labuschagne - lucky, and making the most of it

Who cashes in on fielders' gifts the most, who doesn't - this is what the numbers say

I was expecting to see Henry Nicholls mentioned in this article as well, but he isn't. Maybe he has been better than I thought. Maybe the the 2018 date cutoff means earlier less chancy form obscures the last year?

The analysis in the article doesn't include being dismissed off of no-balls.

Glen Maxwell currently on 150* (62) for the Melbourne Stars in the final over of the innings...!

[Donsteppa]

The Stars finish on a mere 273/2... Maxwell 154* (64) and Stoinis 75* (31)...

[ARHS]

I watched that. Great entertainment! Well done to both batsmen. Interestingly, I thought Maxwell was restrained in the later stages - seeking 4s and not 6s, while Stoinis went for 6s. Remarkable effort.

[Catogrande]

@bones It's an odd one isn't it? He's personally had a bloody good year but as a captain he's won pretty much fuck all.

[dogmeat]

@catogrande As a batter he's had a phenomenal year. Really had to recieve the Award. No one else gets within cooee

He's back, there is hope for all us old buggers yet!

Been channel surfing through some old Aus v India on Foxtel from 1991/92.

I recall why we regarded the Aussie umpires as blatant cheats. It wasn't even close.

Thank goodness for:

1. Neutral umpires
2. DRS

Ha! Channel surfing and find 99/00 Aus v Pakistan.

First ball of the highlights package, Wasim to Slater ... umpire Parker ... tell me those pre-DRS Aussie umpires weren't blatant cheats.

This appears to be that Hobart game that Gilly and Langer chased down. I'm sure you Ockers are proud...

And snicko shows Langer hit the cover off one ... but pre DRS

non-neutral umpires were a disgrace everywhere.

DRS has been a huge improvement on the game -- largely taken the bullying of umpires off the table. If you're so sure - review it!
