I've started a BlueSky account - @zaltzcricket.bsky.social Can't promise I will post much more often than I do on the withered remnants of Twitter, but I probably will. Especially when Test matches are on.

Pace bowlers with 30+ wickets in a Test series since McGrath in the 2001 Ashes: Mitchell Johnson, 2013-14, v Eng (37 in 5 Tests) Jasprit Bumrah, 2024-25, v Aus (30 in 4 Tests so far). Full list, including spinners: stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stat…

Bumrah also the first visiting bowler to have three five-fors in a series in Australia since Anil Kumble for India in 2003-04, and the first visiting seamer to do so since Curtley Ambrose for WI in 1992-93.

The stumpee to Viv's lightning glovework was Martin Vernon, playing for TN Pearce's XI against the touring West Indians in Sep 1976. Bowler: left-arm spinner Raphick Jumadeen. Congratulations to anyone who knew/guessed that without looking it up... espncricinfo.com/series/west-in…

It was the West Indians' 26th first-class game on the 1976 tour, and their fourth FC match AFTER the 5th and final Test at the Oval. It was only their second defeat - Middlesex also beat them (albeit with only Andy Roberts of their Test pace attack playing). Different times.
