Veterans of those times reckon Sylvester Clarke was the most frightening of the lot. Seems that by the evening session of a game he was looking forward to going home and putting his feet up, and if you delayed that by standing there with a bat in you hand, you copped it big time.blackpool72 said:

Wayne Daniel and Sylvester Clarke ain't on the list.
Unbelievable amount of world class fast bowlers they had back then.
Like Malcolm Marshall, sadly gone far too early.2 -
Curtley's not happy with the wicket, but I bet HE would still have been horrible to face today!2

Just seen this stat on BBC. Root has scored 2004 runs since January 2021. Second on the list, is Rishabh Pant….with 1077.2

Bet our two debutants are really looking forward to bowling on this track1

David Lloyd ( bumble ) said Sylvester Clarke was the fastest bowler he had ever faced.Big William said:

Having watched him bowl at the Oval many times I can understand why.1 -
@Pelling1993 is leading the singing in the G&H stand, just spotted him.

That is a great shame. One too many drives on the up.0

Got a bit carried away thereAddick Addict said:That is a great shame. One too many drives on the up.0 -
Yep - don't know if Root had a word but, if he didn't, then he should have done. On a wicket like that Holder was never going to miss the opportunity to offer him another one albeit that he deliberately held it back a fraction. Lawrence will learn but he did show the sort of positivity that we do need.killerandflash said:

Looks like, with the possible exception of Lees, our top seven is sorted for the foreseeable future. At least he did blunt their opening attack but would like to see a bit more from him and a little less inclination to get out LBW - all three of his Test dismissals and 8 of his last 21 innings have been that way which suggests he may have an issue in that respect.0 - Sponsored links:

Barely watched any of that beyond the first hour. These pitches are so dangerous for Test cricket1

Yes it wasn't great. The sort of pitch which ensures a full house of English tourists coughing up lots of money for 5 days, but does nothing for the spectacleLeuth said:Barely watched any of that beyond the first hour. These pitches are so dangerous for Test cricket0 -
I possibly had the best day of my life today 😂4

Met my sporting hero (other than Sir Chris Powell)

Your sporting hero looks like a giant thumb!!!Pelling1993 said:Met my sporting hero (other than Sir Chris Powell)1 -
This is more like it.
Stokes has 7 mins before lunch to get his century. 100 in a session is a rarity nowdays.....especially when its from just 1 player..😂0 -
Not been to the ground per se, but walked past it on my way back from the docks after an afternoon in a glass bottom submarine. Holiday in Barbados in 1995.0

Stokes is going for it !!!0

Is that Tres ?Pelling1993 said:Met my sporting hero (other than Sir Chris Powell)
Funny how he can tour now he's not playing.1 -
He was treated for clinical depression which has obviously helped him. The other thing is that there is a world of difference between the pressure of opening the batting for England and being the batting coach.2

Really? Maybe if you're there. Unbelievably flat pitch, tired bowlers, bored Stokes - a recipe for some bullying. Not the sort of Test cricket I'm into, sorry. No contest, no edge. England will do well to get 20 wicketsPelling1993 said:Unbelievable morning!1 -
You prefer us to be skittled for 180?Leuth said:

If England get 20 wickets they will win the match.1

Root gone for 153 - Roach gets him lbw after reviewing a not out call.
Stokes only a couple away now.0 -
100 up for Ben Stokes in 114 balls.
396-4
Bairstow 12 (25)0 -
our five man tail wont get 50 between them- probably our weakest bowling attack ever
and will be unable to bowl any team out. Please prove me wrong.0
