    The last four batsmen for Sri Lanka all got their highest test scores.

    Gosh I love the way cricket throws up quirky stats like that.

    They all rival Chris Martin by the looks of things. A number eight batsman should average around 20 ideally, not four !

    Hopefully, that bodes well for our batsmen.

    Interesting to see Andre Adams right up this First Class wickets list. Chat's average is a good reminder that Hadlee didn't take lots of wickets just 'because no-one at the other end' at the top level.

    Im sure Payne will post soon, but Latham now second only NZ opener to reach 5000 test runs

    Shout out to Payne for that fantastic EPL jersey lol

    John Wright first obviously given I’m fairly sure he opened his entire career. Who is third ? Scrolling down the list I’m assuming Glenn Turner then Mark Richardson.

    It’s not a position we’ve had an abundance of talent in to be fair ( then again historically you could say that about every role )

    Latham needs to have one of his significantly large home innings right now, I cant see him and Devon being on 200/0 later today though..no chance

    I’m looking forward to this being a massive reverse jinx.

    You'll have a long wait ...

    Wow, I’m genuinely shocked that Martin Guptill who had what I’ve always thought of as a short and unsuccessful test career is sixth !!

    With Conway & Williamson out and 200+ runs behind, this is when Nicholls at 4 and Bracewell at 7 suddenly starts to look a little ominous.

    D K Morrison and M C Sneddon also on the list, each with a well compiled 1* to win a Test match together.

    Be positive. Mitch jr and Blundell thrive for adversity. I’d certainly like that run rate to lift though !

    Counting on those two and Latham.

    Nicholls should only be selected if the opposition agrees to field with 11 Phil Tufnell's.

    I saw we are now three down and just knew it would be Nicholls.

    Christ his runs are drying up at an alarming rate. So much for stepping up after Rossco retired !

    We don't have a No. 4 now so i don't see why we shouldn't try Phillips
