Totally gutted by what has happened to Helen Haines. 😢

Before today, Tas had only been 7-45 or worse on 3 occasions in the Sheffield Shield, producing final totals of 63, 127 & 196. So, a new Tas record 8th-wicket partnership of 166 between BMcDermott and JDoran, and a new high final total has been established for this circumstance.

Elysse Perry has just scored 52 (30) in women's T20I match #3039. Amazing to think her first game in this format was match #11.

So Donny wants his citizens to pretend his name is on the voting paper. What a wonderful idea….

I make yesterday's game between SA and Qld the 1000th Australian domestic competition one-day match, the first, sponsored by Vehicle and General Insurance, being played at the MCG between Vic and Tas on 22 Nov 1969. Results over those 57 years:

Sheffield Shield batting averages in Tasmania, and not in Tasmania, in decades: 1977-86 (33.21, 32.75) 1987-96 (38.19, 33.47) 1997-06 (34.64, 32.32) 2007-16 (30.57, 31.72) 2017-26 (28.38, 30.13) Noticeable how Tassie pitches have become more bowler-friendly over the years...

...and how, nationally, that has also been the trend particularly in the last ten or so years. Explains the mediocre batting averages of the best batters in the land in recent times, and some advice and policies from CA over the winter how this might be countered..

If you'd asked me ten years ago who was going to play the 4200th T20I, Mongolia v Myanmar wouldn't have been on my short list. (For the record, Mongolia 56, Myanmar 1-60)

Australia have been 6-124 or worse in the first match innings and gone on to win 22 times now, half of them before 1925. Only four times this millennium, the last being Edgbaston 2019. Only 6 outside Australia and the first time in South Africa.

Australia win by 214 runs, a margin never attained before by any Test team, and George Bailey is a genius.

Hazlewood career best bowling, his fifth "six-fer", and 311 Test wickets, overtaking Brett Lee.

The defiant Markram's innings comes to end on 75, meaning Matt Renshaw will most likely now claim a rare "bat trick" - the two highest scores in a match. The last Australian to do this was UKhawaja (91 and 104*) v Pak, Lahore, 2021-22. 10 Aussies have done this 12 times...

Two wickets in this over, and JHazlewood, in his 79th Test, moves alongside BLee (76 Tests) on 310 wickets...

Matt Renshaw (272/2*) becomes the first Australian to score 250 runs and take two wickets in a Test match. Closest previous was SWaugh, with 231 runs and 4 wickets v SL, Adelaide, 1995-96.

Oh, and Faisal Iqbal holds the record for the highest disparity (44 runs) between two innings in a Test where the balls faced is the same in each innings (83 and 39, each off 85 balls, v SL, Colombo, 2002-03
Ric Finlay@RicFinlayOct 13
Ok, Marnus now has the highest Test score where hisscore and balls faced is the same for both innings (37 off 58). Going a bit silly here, but Inzy (148 off 218) and 70 off 148) has the highest score in the 1st innings where the balls faced in the 2nd innings is the same! 😁
