Root is just so far ahead of any other batsman in the world at the moment, incredible.
I once played against Don Revie.

Re: The Cricket Thread
He is in an exceptional run of form and, looking at his scoring record he is utterly outstanding. A sportsman of the like you don't often get to witness in a lifetime. I am not sure he is getting all the plaudits he deservesjohnh wrote:Root is just so far ahead of any other batsman in the world at the moment, incredible.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Agreed. Tbh though, John, prior to the double century he had against India on their own patch his form was a little shaky, Root would often get to 60/70 then wouldn't make a century but the last 6 months that has changed, he really has excelled. The only downside to it all is from a batting perspective, he's having to do it all by himself more often than not.johnh wrote:Root is just so far ahead of any other batsman in the world at the moment, incredible.

Giving wickets away cheaply now still an excellent lead.

Very sorry to hear the news of Ted's passing.NottinghamWhite wrote:R.I.P. Ted Dexter.
I havn't followed cricket for many years, since I left school, but growing up in the 1960's, Ted Dexter was a household name.
The early 60's test series against Australia and the West Indies stick in memory when Dexter and a clutch of other great players from all the teams graced the wickets.Dexter wasn't your working class hero,not a Brian Close, military family, Cambridge university, played Rugby and cricket for Cambridge, great golfer invited to join the pro' circuit, fashion model wife, race horses and fast cars, but a great batsman who deserved the legendary status he deserved.Also his involvement and service to cricket after retiring from playing.
RIP Ted.
