Graham Smith's highest test score was 277---against England in 2003.

QUESTION:

Can Smith surpass 277 and complete a triple ?

The way he is batting---history can be made. ;D

Kallis has been through bad patches like that before. But at his age it's definitely a concern and I was wondering about that too. He's still been talking about playing in the next World Cup, but I can't see that happening.

CHECK GRAHAM SMITH'S TEST SCORES SINCE HIS LAST TEST HUNDRED

Well, he had 3 fifties in the 12 innings between hundreds.

* Kallis is currently 38yr 9 days

* he is now playing in his 164th test

* In his last 14 test innings---no hundreds and 3 fifties


* Between his 118th and 130th test --he went 20 innings without a hundred

howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/Players/P...at.asp?PlayerID=2043

When you get up in the high 30s---time starts running out fast----Kallis needs to get back among the runs----or cricket fans will start talking retirement.


RE: SHIV

Two bad series in a row and he'll be asked to retire---once Shiv keeps his overall test average above 50---the Rev will be pleased with his test career---no Guyanese batsman has ever averaged 50 in test.

Mr. Chairman:

We know Shiv will be playing 5 more tests by the end of the year---against India and New Zealand.

RE: SHIV MAINTAINING HIS 50 TEST AVERAGE

* Let's assume Shiv bats in 10 innings in those 5 tests

* And let's assume no not outs---although we know Shiv will have a couple of not outs

* Anyway, in order for Shiv to maintain a 50 average after the next 5 tests he will have to score  120 runs at a 12.00 average

howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/Players/P...ew.asp?PlayerID=1979

QUESTION:

Can Shiv score 120 runs and at an average of 12.00 in his next 5 tests  in order to maintain his 50.00 test average ? :D

Kallis is done.  Don't be surprised if you hear retirement talk coming from his camp.  Its hard to recover at this "old" cricketing age.

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.
