Sadly for Mills, if you compare his stats to Topley's he comes out a clear 2nd on almost all of them.

I was about to say that I paid on the gate last time I went to Lords, but then had a depressing, gear grinding moment as I realised that was 12 years ago. Urgh.

It's a little known fact that people actually like cricket.

:shootself

Oh yeah, that's the one I was looking for. :O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O

Coad run out, Sussex win :clap::clap::clap: Last 3 wickets fell for 3 runs between them.

6th wicket falls just as I was mentally writing the game off. Although the moment was somewhat sullied by the Yorkshire commentator referring to us as SURREY. :rant::rant::rant::angry::angry::angry::rant::rant::rant::angry::angry::angry: He did immediately apologise, to be fair. :lolol:

76/5. Wharton bowled Hunt, inside edge onto leg stump.

Pretty sure that LBW appeal was plumb as anything as well.

It's 5 in total, across the 6 matches that actually saw play. The first test didn't feature a single LBW for either side, neither did the ODI played after the third match was abandoned. The remaining matches saw one each. It's not particularly unusual for a test in Australia to not see any...

I'll post the answer tomorrow morning to give more people a chance to guess/know the answer. It is (spoiler alert) on the low side.

On the subject, you know that 1970/71 Ashes series which we WON that everybody mithers about because we didn't get a single LBW decision? Anybody know/fancy a guess at how many LBWs Australia had in the same series?

Good bouncy pitch. Which, to be fair to the umpire, may have played into that LBW decision earlier.

That was my first thought based on the still you posted, but assuming I flicked back to watch the same appeal (a couple of overs before he was out?) I'd guess hitting about 3/4s of the way up. Earlier on I happened to read an article about the cameras all the umpires are wearing, which are...

To be fair to the umpire, I think it'd have missed off and leg stumps.

Because he's sloooowwwww. Seriously though, the role he'd play in a bowling attack you'd have him up against Anderson and Woakes (and numerous other 80-ish mile an hour bowlers) over the last decade or so, and with the best will in the world you'd never pick him over Anderson or Woakes.

Thought I was off the hook then for a couple of seconds. I know more catches are dropped than most people would think, but I still think Root's some way short of the top tier of slip catchers. Even in this Yorkshire XI I'd think Lyth's a better slip fielder. Edit: I didn't expect my point to...

Now I'm worried that if I stop watching the jinx will strike again.

Interesting that they just mentioned having to get used to the slope down the pitch at Hove. You'd think it'd help playing at a ground with a similar slope. Like, I don't know, Headingley for example.

Yeah, I turned the television on and inevitably we immediately lost a wicket. CLASSIC. :wrong::wrong::wrong::wrong::wrong:
