Did you see the stat on how many Innings for 27 centuries , Bradman took 70 Innings.

Ponting , Tendulkar , Gavaskar , Kohli etc closer to 140.

Smudge 137

Truly Bradman must have been a freak.

Try calculating his runs if he had as many Innings as Border did.

Bradman went to NZ in 1946 - He was meant to play - but went to the races (so they say)
Bill Brown captained
NZ bowler J.Cowie 21-8-40-6

I always thought he didn't tour at all because of fibrosis.

At the time it wasn't even a Test , think it was 1948 before it actually got official Test status.

It wasn't until 1973-74 we played each other again.

New Zealand used to play in.the domestic one day comp.

I remember hearing about those calculations years ago , amazing.

Apart from the fact he couldn't catch a cold today , 131 overs and Labuschagne bowled 4.

Surely Smith & Wade were worth a couple of overs of "crap" just to mix things up.

Well done India for holding out for that long.

Will Pucovski's sparkling Test debut against India has been soured after he was sent to scans to look at an injured right shoulder.

Pucovski was hurt after diving for a ball at mid-wicket during the second session of the final day of the third Vodafone Test at the SCG.

Harris on standby for Pucovski , only walked laps at training today.

Pattinson remained in Melbourne due to his rib injury.
