If you had to recommend a black and white film to one who had never see one -what would be your choice?

18 wickets so far at the MCG (might be more yet!) Only three days of Test cricket at Melbourne have seen more wickets than this (all first days): 25 in 1901-02, 20 in 1894-95, and 20 in 1932-33. Two others with 18 - 3rd day in 1903-04, and 4th day in 1998-99 (all Tests v England)

@cricketslave @ACScricket Six-ball overs according to Cricket Archive

@AskStevenSport @ACScricket 54 x 8 ball overs = 432 balls. The equivalent of 72 overs.

England’s innings in the current Test match in Perth have lasted 32.5 overs and 34.4 overs meaning a total of 67.3 overs for the whole match, their shortest combined innings in an Ashes Test since 1888. #Ashes2025 #cricketcounts

@gulu1959 @ESPNcricinfo @ACScricket My obituary from Wisden 2017 is here: espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack… (it should say he died in 2014, we were slightly late picking it up)

espncricinfo.com/cricketers/dav… @ESPNcricinfo Perhaps when a cricketer reaches 100, even if you do not know whether he is dead or alive, should marked "100; presumed dead." It is HIGHLY unlike Mr. Watt is 108 years old! @ACScricket @AskStevenSport

Just tried to send a direct message on here and looks like I can't any more. I was wondering if Richard Naughton's tennis book The Outcasts, about Dick Savitt (who I interviewed a few years ago) and Art Larsen, is available anywhere as a physical book (not ebook)? @rbnaughton

@Tbsickel Looks like it, yes. There's been two close together a few times. This is all the T20 97s: stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stat…

@AskStevenSport 3 97s in 2 days must be some sort of record? That's crazy how that's happened.

@TazzSatti It’s happened once before, by Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka at Bulawayo in 2004. And nearly at Kingston in 1954-55 (WI v Australia) - five 100s and Sobers conceded 99! See stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stat… #ENGvPAK

6 bowlers have gone for more than 100 in an innings, is this some sort of a record? @AskStevenSport ? #ENGvsPAK

@ChrissieEvert Not sure about the dodgy bloke behind you in the hat, though 😸

@ChrissieEvert Here goes! There’s you, Jack Kramer, Arthur Ashe, and Evonne Goolagong talking to Stan Smith? Next row is tough - Alice Marble, Shirley Fry, Doris Hart (green)? Then Don Budge, Fred Perry, Lew Hoad (?). Front Henri Cochet, Rene Lacoste, Jean Borotra, Kitty Godfree, Frank Sedgman

Wow! Honored to be among these legends…. Can you name them? 🫶❤️

@DrBaalt @ChrissieEvert That’s the German baron Gottfried von Cramm in the natty blazer. Don Budge in the pic to the right. The bottom pic is Perry and (I think) Frank Shields, grandfather of Brooke. I don’t think they played each other at Wimbledon - not in a final anyway - might be the Davis Cup?

@ChrissieEvert Any in these photos from the Wimbledon Museum? Fred Perry plus…?

@ChrissieEvert 1977 I think? 100th anniversary of the first Wimbledon?

@ForeveRFan_RF This Kanpur game lies fourth. Second is India v South Africa at Cape Town in January - 46.5 overs espncricinfo.com/series/india-i…

India won the Kanpur Test against Bangladesh in a total of just 52 overs of batting, with 34.4 overs in the first innings and 17.2 overs in the second innings. What is the record for the fewest overs batted by a winning team in a Test match? @AskStevenSport #KanpurTest #INDvsBAN

@ForeveRFan_RF I think it’s England’s 46 overs in this match: espncricinfo.com/series/england…

@gulu1959 He won the 400m wearing number 400 I believe…

Sad news. Otis Davis who won the 400m at the 1960 Rome Olympics in which Milkha Singh came 4th by a whisker in one of the greatest 400m races of all time, has died aged 90. RIP, Otis

@Final_Word_Pod @ZaltzCricket @norcrosscricket Someone wrote that Ken Higgs’s arse was so big it crossed two postcodes 🤭

A treat having @zaltzcricket hosting, arguing persuasively with @norcrosscricket that Gus Atkinson’s arse isn’t as big as Ken Higgs’ despite their similiar statistical achievement after eight inns. “Proper fast bowlers’ arse, which I don’t think the world appreciates these days"

@HistoricSports2 Eastham had a peculiar international career - he won about 20 England caps, all of them between the 1962 World Cup (when he was in the squad but did not play) and the 1966 World Cup (when he was in the squad but did not play)

George Eastham watches a shot go past the post during England's 1-0 win over Hungary, May 5th 1965. Eastham was in the 1966 World Cup-winning squad but never played. In 2009 he and others who did not play in the final were awarded World Cup winners' medals

@sdearth @usopen @vrcsports A Canadian guy called Frank Dancevic did it in 2011, and was said at the time to be the first man to do it. Not sure if anyone has repeated the feat

@usopen @vrcsports @usopen Does anybody know specifics on if that ever had been done before Yuliia? If so, who did it? She's from ODU, so we follow her in Virginia. Amazing feat!

✔️ Australian Open ✔️ Roland-Garros ✔️ Wimbledon ✔️ US Open 🇺🇦 Yuliia Starodubtseva has successfully qualified into the main draw at all four Grand Slams in 2024!

I used to love these. Anybody seen any recently?

@HistoricSports2 I think more horses fell in the Derby that year than in the Grand National!

Chaos at the 1962 Derby as seven horses fell or were brought down on the approach to Tattenham Corner. Six jockeys ended up in hospital and one horse had to be destroyed
