Glad Australia back focusing on test cricket - where we belong
The two freaks just paddling around for fun in Perth at the moment
Tough going for the Windies

Runs definitely flowing now.
Just the 6.44 runs per over, then
The fuck happened while i was asleep?
When I went to bed there were all sorts of unlikely possibilities on the table. Least likely of all was that Zak Crawley would knock off the fastest test century by an England opener.
174-0 at lunch, very hard to wrap your brain round when youโve just woken up.
Are the lads just all playing ill then or what?
root said it was just a 24 hour thing for him, so maybe thatโs all it was
Just to put this start in perspective, the ball before Duckett got out there we were 233-0 off 35.3.
Remember that ridiculous ODI game when Australia were the first team to get 400, made 434 and SA knocked it off? At the same point they were 256-2. This is a test match.
Help me out, Excy boy, what are we looking at?
Itโs a game of spot the odd one out, these are Zak Crawleyโs averages against each team
Well now it just seems obvious but no context stat-grabs make my brain melt a bit
Hey, I said โLolโ, how much more context do you need? Jeez.
If we carry on at this rate (and Livingstone and Jacks are coming in at 7 and 8), and Pakistan get their overs in, weโll have scored 553 on the first day. The record is 494, set by Australia in 1910.
is there a Dafanews presents KFC test series trophy, does anyone know?
I think the light might stop them getting there.
yeah, true unfortunately, but weโre going to set a load of records nonetheless. Fastest 400 I can find is 73.1 overs, which we managed against Bangladesh in 2005. Weโre going to blast past that by about ten overs.
Highest run rate in a completed innings is 5.8, thatโs looking wobbly.
Itโs got such a ring to it, doesnโt it?
not a bad trophy, could do with looking more like a KFC bucket though
I hope itโs at least overflowing with chicken when they present it
