Punter streakily passes Border's record now.

Punter streakily passes Border's record now.

fair play - that is some considerable achievement. With a fairly healthy average as well. We may love to hate him, but that man knows how to bat.

Indeed. Little git but one hell of a batsman.

I don't think the Bearded Wonder would have been applauding until he gets the runs minus the 'supertest'.

True. But sadly, as that 'test' was 'official,' it still counts in most circumstances.

I don't like cric info

that's true

I really don't see the problem with calling the 'supertest' a test. It was Australia v the best of the rest in a five-day match, two innings each. Sounds like a test match to me, certainly one with more credibility than the recent West Indies-Bangladesh disgrace.

Test matches can only be between national teams representing test-playing nations.

Absolutely. I'd like to see the WSC matches included as well though.. it was certainly more of a Test than England against Australia B in the late 70s

The ICC until they decided there was money to be made by the alternative.

Well I, for one, like the idea of a test championship over, say, five years, with a one-off test between the winners and the best of the rest in the winners' home country. Splendid idea, and only worth doing if the one-off finale is also a test.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssss

 

[Nemo]

Onions!

 

[Biddlybee]
