Definitely even rarer, you’d remember it forever if you saw it! But usually a five relies on some level of incompetence from the fielders (or a bizarrely large ground) so it might not be reflect primarily on the batters. Anyway, almost impossible to happen. But I wonder whether in two hundred years of first-class cricket, somewhere, sometime, six threes feels like it might just have been possible.

Six fives would be the ultimate.

Suspect that’s never happened before. Suggests a certain lack of power, or difficult outfield, combined with excellent timing and awareness of the fielder positions. And needs it from both batters in the partnership.

Rumour has it that England fans are going to wear David Warner is a s*** bloke T-shirts.

Is there such a thing as an anti-fan club for the more “divisive” players? Can you sign up by post to get posters, comic book stories and branded merchandise every month?

(Is David Warner even divisive? Maybe he unites people, although unfortunately for the chap, primarily against him?)

Lets just acknowledge and appreciate that fact that Warner has been dropped, and he has been dropped from being captain.

#Warnerissutpid and the people in charge of him have acknowledged that too and the world now knows that Warner is* stupid.

I agree, Dave, but mainly becuase more often than not you can see these ‘global icons’ perform really badly. They go from hero to zero in a matter of minutes and that is what is best. Also, watching when Kohli and Maxwell are dismissed in two consecutive balls in a 2 wicket maiden is what I love. People who have built themselves up to be these wonder men become these plebs who do nothing but just sit in a dugout.

The ‘you are playing for humanity’ message was… quite something.
