Shall I do the research?


Dhoni - 33/6 (90 tests)
Pant - 2/2 (13)
Watling - 18/8 (70)
Dowrich - 8/3 (31)
Bairstow - 21/6 (70)
McCullum - 31/12 (101)
Prior - 72/7 (79)
Boucher - 35/5 (147)
Russell - 6/2 (54)
Jones - 6/1 (34)
Dujon - 16/5 (81)
Healy - 22/4 (119)
Haddin- 18/4 (66)
Gilchrist - 26/17 (96)
De Kock - 21/5 (47)
Paine - 7/0 (31)

and
Buttler - 16/1 (42)

I’ve just picked the first keepers I can think of, it’s not meant to be selective. Paine aside, he has the lowest hundreds per test ratio.

Surprised at how few hundreds Boucher got
 
Some people here after the first test were saying England were going to get hammered in Australia next year, England looking in pretty good shape IMO, wouldn't surprise me if they make the ICC test championship final yet, obviously they're going to have to perform well in India.
 
What's the follow on total and should we enforce it? Weather forecast looks good tomorrow, horrific Monday and patchy on Tuesday.

Would be happy to bat again regardless, put them in tomorrow so our bowlers are fresh and can throw everything at them for an hour or two, then have a nice days rest before finishing them off on Tuesday.
 
Anyone remember who it was who put a helmet on and fielded about six foot further up in around the second and third slip area?

sure that happened

I think the Test final is a pipe dream, given how well we'd have to do in India - I just don't think we have the spin options right now to get a positive result over there (besides Bess, Carts ;))

Agree about Aus though, I certainly can't see us getting the drubbings we have the last couple of visits. Batting order looking more and more solid, Stokes, plus an attack with a bit more oomph will see us far more competitive next winter
