Never mind the pitch. England's cricket was the only dull thing out there today.

You're probably thinking of when Nas and Thorpe put on close to 300 v Convicts in the joyous 1st test at Edgbaston in 97.
Caddy Gough and Devon Malcolm had run through them in the 1st innings and we went on to win...
Cheers Reg. |

Interesting stat that I read today (and I do love my stats):
"In the 1970s, English batsmen hit eight Test hundreds at Lord's. In the 1980s, they made 12; in the 1990s, 10; and in the 2000s, a whopping 32, with Sri Lanka and Australia next year still to come..."

Cracking and quite unbelievable stat! Says alot about the modern game but I'm astonished that the 1990's only saw 10!
Name them.....!

The highest score would have to have been Goochies 333 vs India in 1990 |

My knowledge of the Gooch century is through reading as opposed to watching it. Doing my research here... Jack Russell 127 against the West Indies 1996 (which I do remember) Alec Stewart 119 against New Zealand in 1994 Robin Smith 148 against the West Indies in 1991 http://www.cricinfo.com/ (I'm better than a mere google, larwood thankyou very much!) |
