After Old Trafford, Shane Warne has extended his record to 2722 runs from 175 innings in 126 Tests, his top score being 99. The only player to complete his Test career and amass 2000 runs without scoring a century is India's Chetan Chauhan, with 2084 runs from 68 innings in 40 Tests and a highest score of 97. Chaminda Vaas has to date scored 2162 runs for Sri Lanka with a career best of 74 not out. Alistair Campbell scored 2031 runs in 83 innings before scoring the first of his two Test hundreds.

SUFC Faraway was correct by the way, and it was a New Zealander who scored 299* a few years ago (15 or so), his name escapes me for now.

Martin Crowe - New Zealand scored 299 out as far as I remember it was against Sri Lanka.

The answer is Sir Donald Bradman v South Africa in the 1930's.

I am sure that Tendulkars highest score in tests is in the low 200's.

How many runs did Viv Richards score in the final of the 1979 World Cup?

And also, in the same final, how many England players scored a duck?

From memory he scored 138 not out, remember him stepping accross middle stump and hitting a couple of 6's into the old Mound Stand.

At a guess 4 ducks.

One of Mike Hendrick was superb.

We made a good if slow start, with those two well known pinch-hitters Geoff Boycott and Mike Brearley both making 50's after that all down hill, and I would guess 5 ducks (and will attempt to name names) Larkins, Willey, Taylor, Willis and Hendrick.

Pinch blockers more like.

Don't remember Pete Willey playing in that final as Gooch/Larkins & Boycott were used as the "5th bowler"

With that assortmentment of batting talent I would agree at 5 ducks.

I'll change my Willey (as it were) to Botham.

Just checked and it was five ducks - I got three right (Larkins, Taylor and Hendrick). The other two were Gower (Botham made 4) and Chris Old (Willis did not play), as we slumped from 129/1 to 194 all out.

I suspect that Joel's tail was more of a 12fer http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif
