Some howlers from the umps tonight

Neser with 2 big wickets from 7 overs - probably justified his spot in this innings alone.

Starc making a late charge for Australian Of The Year, but they’ll probably give it to someone who cured a disease or invented time travel or something. Pathetic.

Australia score 500+ without a player making a century. Has that happened before?

The FOXTEL commentary team mentioned that it was the first time every Australian batsman had made it to double figures in a single Test innings since 1992 but a score of 500+ without a century maker was not mentioned while I was watching.

That maybe one for REH to answer.

Sri Lanka 531 v Bangers March 2024 in Chittagong, highest scores Kusal Mendis 93, Kamindu Mendis 92 not out. #10 and #11 were both out and only made 6 and 0 respectively, 9 players got to double figures. 6 scores of 50+. Sri Lanka won by 192 runs.

India 9/dec 524 v NZ November 1976 in Kanpur, highest score was 70 by Mohinder Amarnath all up 6 scores of 50+, Bishen Bedi was 50 not out and the worst #11 ever Bhagwat Chandrasekhar got to 10 not out, so everyone got to double figures. A Draw.

Oz 7/dec 521 v WI in Perth December 2009, highest scores Katich 99, Watson 89 all up 5 scores of 50+. Hauritz 2 not out was only single figure. Oz won by 35 runs.

South Africa 517 v Oz in Adelaide 1998, highest score Brian McMillian 87 not out, 5 scores of 50+ and Jonty Rhodes made 6 and was only player not to make double figures - out for 6. A draw.

Today's 511 by Oz is 5th on the list. Starc's 77 was highest score and everyone made double figures and 5 scores 50+.
