Marnus Labuschagne has gone 47 Test match innings without a ton. This equals the Australian record number of innings of a Top 4 Test match batter failing to get a 100. The person who he now holds the record with? Alick Bannerman who played his last Test in 1893. #cricketcounts

A mouth watering statistic from today in South Africa’s innings v Australia. It is the first time in Test match history that six people have scored 2 or less in an innings whilst five others have scored more than 40. The highs and lows of cricket. #cricketcounts
