[Cricket] Cricket- 2nd Test, Lords, August 29 - September 2nd, 2024, Sri Lanka tour of England

[A1X]

England have rather dug themselves out of a hole here TBH

How many players are on both the batting (century maker) and bowling honours (5 wickets) board at Lords?

Lots.

But VERY FEW have achieved a century and a TEN wicket match, at Lords (they listed them - he's the sixth).

Atkinson has done both in one summer!

Gus Atkinson becomes only the sixth player to hit a century, take five wickets in an innings and take 10 wickets in a match at Lord's.

The others are Gubby Allen (England), Keith Miller (Australia), Stuart Broad (England), Chris Woakes (England) and Ian Botham (England).

How many players are on both the batting (century maker) and bowling honours (5 wickets) board at Lords?

Atkinson by far the fastest to do it (four innings)

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Stone holes out.

England 427 all out. Fernando 5/102

 

[Eeyore]

Atkinson by far the fastest to do it (four innings)

I wonder if a player has done both in a Test match. It sounds like a Botham or Hadlee thing

 

[keaton]

Would it not be possible to check the umpires can communicate with the third umpire before everyone is ready to start if it's that important?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Ollie Pope with one of the worst reviews of all time. Ball has missed the bat by about a FOOT!

Joe Root's fault. Smith knew he hadn't hit it but Root insisted.

And now Smith watches an edge fly between himself and first slip.

 

[keaton]

Joe Root's fault. Smith knew he hadn't hit it but Root insisted.

Then it's Smith's fault isn't it? But he doesn't seem to think catching is part of his job based on the last ball

Smith was saying he hadn't hit it but Root insisted and Pope listened to Root. You can't blame Smith for that one.

Not too expensive - Madushka, bowled Woakes for 7

 

[pasty]

Fortuitous first wicket playing on to not a great ball

Madushka b Woakes 7

18/1

Vinoo Mankad against England in 1952, and Botham against Pakistan in 1978, have both scored a hundred and taken 5 in an innings in the same match at Lords.

Two wickets in the over for Ollie Stone - (separated by the lunch break)

This one an absolute sucker punch - Nissanka flicking off his pads to the waiting leg slip.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Looking forward to it, primarily because it's an ideal test of my theory that Olly Stone doesn't actually exist.

Can confirm that Stone does, in fact, exist.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Mathews, bowled Matthew (Potts). Absolute beauty.

83/4

And now the skipper - caught at second slip.

83/5

In the Grandstand on Saturday, should be a marvellous day

Could be marvellous. Might not be full at this rate. Follow on before the close?
