Appendix for the First Test

By T-Bone

With almost 24 hours to reflect on the First Test result, I had a chance to converse with fans of cricket and novices who heard the result on the news and their first comment was pretty much unanimous - "Look at your eyes! Did you sleep last night?" But the next thing was "How good was that?"

Isn't cricket wonderful. As far as statistics and numerology go, it's 87% as impressive as Baseball.
 
Rest up cricket fans!
