Well done evil Ken doll Stuart Broad on take 500 Test wickets. He had the making of a true all-round but Mitchell Johnson ended that hope 7 years ago.

I think 90 % of those wickets were taken in England.

160 of his 501 was taken on foreign soil with innings BB figures of 6/17 against SA in 2015/16 being his best.
One and only test for Hardy's Viljoen.

You have to live in a bubble for this:

England

What a boring game, no one even showed up to watch the game

 

[Creag]

For spectator value, if were possible to watch this, England should have batted first. This doddle is not fun to watch.

IRE 172 all out

Well something to bowl at ...

McCarthy to Roy, no ball, 2 runs, full and wide outside off, Roy flashes it past the diving backward point. Sliced it a touch, so it doesn't have the legs to beat third man. Word's come from the third umpire that it's a no ball as well. Of course all no-ball decisions are going to be monitored by the third umpire, in case you're unaware

Que?

 

[Agent_Smith]

Que?

Third umpires are now watching for no balls and apparently relaying them to the on-field umpire if they happen

Curtis Campher looks the business. When did he leave South Africa? Ever involved in playing locally?

Must have claimed a colonial heritage red passport and left SA for greener pastures.

Not very loyal

This English batting line-up though. Even when you have them 7 down, they’re still dangerous.
