Wow, good research. Roger Binny eh, I vaguely remember him as a kid - but primarily as a bowler. Definitely not an opening bat, and definitely not capable of a double ton! But there we are (it’s definitely him though right?).

good to see Sabbott getting a bit more consistent with the bat

Blues had opportunities yesterday but jeez Patterson and Hughes played some get out shots

A little bit before my time but cos his son also played a bit for India I was aware of him....Test average in the mid-Twenties is solid and his FC average was 34 with about 6600 runs. Not shabby for a guy who also took 200+ FC wickets.

Turns out his son was pretty much an exact clone of the old man.

Yeah he’s always had ability with the bat but now genuinely is very handy, bordering on all-rounder...

Didn’t see the Patterson n Hughes dismissals but agree with @Bazal on Starc... flicked over after stumps in the SA Vic game to see Starc facing spin and thought immediately this will go one of 2 ways very quickly..

Like a fat kid in a cake shop, his eyes light up and can’t help himself...

A sitter at 1st slip dropped off a Marcus Harris Edge...

0/443....

Best all-time opening partnership, now heading for the Waugh Brothers all-time partnership record...

Record Shield Partnerships

Pucovski n Harris now have the record....

First game of their season, after 2 weeks quarantine, Pukovskis first time opening, playing away..

Not bad that..

Burns is choosing a bad time to fail.

Street gone now, Blues all of a sudden found their mojo and well on top

As long as we don't go back to Bancroft or Harris....

Definitely him. That 211* was his highest first class score. Made 83* in a Test against Pakistan. First class average of 34.

No. I’m warming to trying Pucovski as an opener. He’s too much of a talent to be sitting on the sideline, and I think Cameron Green will soon get the no.6 spot. Only other spot that’s available is maybe no.5, but Travis Head is going pretty well.
