Just for you Cest - you said yesterday how easy the test match was going to be to win.... Did you have to say it? 4 down now and still 133 behind
It's the Sunderland fans curse. LOl England will canter home mate with cook and bell. Don't forget, one of those wkts was the nightwatchman Jimmy. Nee sweat.
are we all watching it... i have to say its exiting im a nz fan but im supporting west indies because i like to root for the underdogs and they are playing really well... chanderpaul has kept them in this game
Hope you're right mate - I'm sort of watching it (got my skygo on the iPad at work and have the headphones in whilst writing documents! Have to keep glancing when anything exciting happens!!) - am gutted as I was supposed to be in London today for a 90 minute training course at 9 this morning then could've gone to the test as the rest of the day was to be spent travelling but it got cancelled - quite devastated really Up to 100 now so 91 more with 6 wickets remaining... Come on England
Yeah i love my cricket its looking a bit more settled now. Its a shame i have to go to work in a min and miss the winning runs lol
Not sure about that one mate but if I remember correctly Eddie Hemmings got 95 as a nightwatchman at around that time.
Code: There have been seven test centuries by nightwatchmen (as of 2012): Player Team Score Versus Ground Date Nasim-ul-Ghani Pakistan 101 England Lord's, London, England 1962 Tony Mann Australia 105 India WACA Ground, Perth, Western Australia 1977 Syed Kirmani India 101 not out Australia ****hede Stadium, Mumbai, India 1979 Mark Boucher South Africa 125 Zimbabwe Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe 1999 Mark Boucher South Africa 108 England Sahara Stadium Kingsmead, Durban, South Africa 1999 Jason Gillespie Australia 201 not out Bangladesh Chittagong Divisional Stadium, Chittagong, Bangladesh 2006 Alex Tudor (England) was also close to making a century as a nightwatchman; he made 99 not out against New Zealand in 1999 at Edgbaston, and was stranded one run short of a maiden test century when the target of 208 runs for victory was achieved. PS: I love the cricket, and when there is no football on.....
can you not see the code box? thats who have made test centuries as a nightwatchmen. Nasim-ul-Ghani 101 Tony Mann 105 Syed Kirmani 101* Mark Boucher 125 Mark Boucher 108 Jason Gillespie 201*
Nasim ul Ghani signed as a professional at Whitburn and did nothing but then he had to follow Lance Gibbs spell as professional
Stop counting those chickens mate - it might rain for a week!!! (Honestly the only way I can see us not winning every game)!! Well Cest - my dog has to come to your vets in CLS tonight!! Bloody stupid animal gets poorly when I'm skint!!
