@Tim

Raval owns two of our top ten scores now. Impressive and depressing at the same time

[MN5]

KW cracks 5000 test runs at 50.53.

Guess that's an ok enough effort.

she's not very often our top 3 all get 50's....

Does anyone have the ability to look this stat up?

I'd be interested as to how often this has actually happened.

What the hell is going on out there?

"Philander is now rolling the ball back, as a form of protest, from the deep"

Did we accuse them of something? Trying to read back cricinfo and it just looked like it was a general discussion amongst the fans etc. Obviously not!

Not bad. The list of fastest to 5000 test runs makes for interesting reading. Some bloke called Bradman puts the rest of the world to shame...

110 innings puts him equal with Punter.

Umpires decided that the ball was out of shape so changed it, bit it was reversing nicely for South Africa. A couple of overs later Philander asked for another change and the umpires said no.

Hmm I'm sure we had our top 3 all make centuries once (rigor, Lou Vincent and Fleming I think).

When Vincent got his hundy on debut vs oz I'm sure there were three others that got them too. On my phone so if someone could link the scoresheet via cricinfo that would be good.

Interesting, don't remember Styris batting at 3 much, think of him more at 4.

@MN5 Flem, Nath, and Parore i think.

[Cyclops]

And the deficit under 100 now. If we bat really well we might finish up with a lead!

That could be right. Holy shit what an effort IN oz too.
