fair, just had a look and the fastest chase of 350+ ever is 44.0 overs. Thatā€™ll probably go barring a collapse

Edit - maybe not, need Jos in to hurry things up

Edit 2 - Jos isnā€™t playing, weā€™re doomed

Also looking through those records, that South Africa - Australia game is still absolutely miles ahead of everything else, and itā€™s 13 years old now. Absolutely insane that with all the development in one day cricket since 2006 nobody has caught up to that matchā€™s level. Proper weird anomaly

#528

I remember going to the Walkabout in Watford to watch something else but ended up transfixed on that SA v Aus game. It was insane, even by todayā€™s standards.

#529

Highest aggregate score of any ODI still, and 47 clear of 2nd place. Only 2 other matches ever are within 100 runs of it.

#533

Aye, but thatā€™s what ā€˜shouldā€™ happen when a team puts up a mammoth score, people have to start swinging before they get themselves in and wickets start dropping

#537

We had a bit of a break for the 50 over stuff, but which potentially Ashes winning batsman has scored a century for the third county championship game in a row? Can only be one man

Which county championship batsman has scored a first class century in 6 matches in a row? You know it

I always think thatā€™s Robert Key.

#540

Thatā€™s Sibley I take it. How many of those centuries were in Div 2 or against a University side?

#541

IRRC, heā€™s got 2 this year in the first division, 1 for the MCC XI vs Surrey (county champs), 3 last year - but then one of those was against Kent, who are now first division.

So Iā€™m saying 4.

(the rest of the team has been terrible as well - despite opening, when heā€™s got his two Warks centuries this season, heā€™s been 8th man out and held his bat)

Obviously, he was out for 3 in the 2nd inning today.

Iā€™m off to Trent Bridge tomorrow to watch cricket for the first time in my life. I expect the decision of whether I ever go and watch it again will depend 100% on what the weatherā€™s like.

#544

Why is Michael Vaughanā€¦

Canā€™t stand listening to this bloke. Heā€™s just named Jofra Archer as twelfth man in his best England ODI sideā€¦ EVER

#545

I thought for one horrible moment he was going to nominate himself as number 3

#546

Mad that Pakistan are looking at putting up 340ish and it doesnā€™t look anywhere near enough

#547

Pakistan are the first team ever to put up 340 in 3 consecutive ODIs. They may well lose all 3.
