Series Averages

David Kennett's 12/88 in the second Test is the new record for the best match haul by a CW bowler in Test cricket. It beats John Eddie Sanders' 11/69 against South Africa.

Kennett the obvious man of the series. Delighted with my series too.

 

[Blewy]

For a man under pressure to retain his spot Kennett didn't do to badly did he

Great stuff guys, enjoy the celebration

EDIT: To clarify what I mean by deterioration, I'm referring to wickets falling every over or two and teams bowled out for sub100 scores.

In other words - the India-Australia 4th Test?

 

[marc71178]

My fielding rating is bizarre - was I at short leg or something?

Huzzah.

I think those results my have overshadowed the captain`s batting AGAIN. Here`s hoping he turns it around next series. Amazing bowling by Kennett, and you guys handled Vaas superbly.

Notable stat:

CW XI is the first Test team to record successive innings victories in Sri Lanka.

Four more teams have achieved this feat in successive matches regardless of venue -

• Australia (Only Test in 1982-83 away, only Test in 1987-88 at home)
• India (all three Tests at home in 1993-94)
• Pakistan (3rd Test away in 1994, 1st Test in 1995-96)
• South Africa (with three - across two series, 2nd and 3rd Tests in 2000-01 and 1st Test in 2002-03, both at home)

Pleeeease STOP!!! you're torturing ME!!! AAAAAHHH!
