I'm still more annoyed about the South Africans letting the Aussies off the hook, from 21/9 to 50 odd all out.
The crazy thing about our 26 is that we dragged it out for 27 overs. Almost a whole session!

Not to mention we had the Poms 8/23 in that Auckland test a few years ago. They managed to get to 58 thanks to a lower order bowler

Windies all out for 27. Starc 6 for 9, Boland 3 for 2.
How can anyone be happy about this? So close and yet we still own that record, feels like Starc let them get a couple of extra runs to ensure the wound never heals lol
It was all bloody Konstas - 2 dropped catches and let one through his legs for the single to get to 27.
We can claim a moral victory* of sorts, all the runs made in our 26 were off the bat.
The Windies had 6 extras in their 27 soooooo you could argue their batsmen made the lowest combined runs from the bat only.*Ironically it was on the same date 6 years to the day we lost the CWC final to England, moral victories we seem to be good at.

Everyone knows why the Australians called Kevin Pietersen FIGJAM? And apparently the lads in his own dressing room had a seven letter nickname for him.

Pietersen was one of the best batsmen I’ve ever seen when in form. Seriously classy player who perhaps underachieved. Nice of him to chuck some NZ names in there.
Definitely sounds like a cock, yes.
Well done Ben Stokes, hundred and five for in the same test is a terrific effort.
Finally well done Root, plays more tests than the others but still has to actually get the runs and stay in form. I wonder if he’ll have a crack at Tendulkars record ?

And yet he's played fewer tests than Dravid, Kallis and Ponting? He's also played 43.5 tests less than Tendulkar and at his current average of around 85 per test he will overtake Tendulkar in 29 tests.

Bonkers score card for India's second innings. 2 ducks, 3 centuries and a 90 from the 6 guys to bat.
Stokes a bit grumpy when India declined the draw with both batters in the 80s. Sundar ended up with a maiden test century which is kind of reasonable, but with Harry Brook and Joe Root basically giving them batting practice for the final few overs all feels a bit meaningless. Jadeja at least had the decency to blast his way there, while Sundar nurdled it around.

Which based on standard England test cricket itineraries will happen in about 18 months from now.

Yep so he’ll get more chances than Smith and KW but credit where it’s due. He still has to actually get the runs, stay in form etc.
He also didn’t have the benefit of debuting at 16 like Tendulkar did either.
The record is there if he wants it and at 34 he has time. I guess it depends if his form declines a bit like the guys he’s just passed…..

Ben Stokes has plenty of opinions on how cricket should be played - which is usually whatever suits him at the time.
