i seee! fascinating lol a record that stood for 113 years
Bairstow's 219 not out and Bresnan's undefeated 169 not out were their career-best scores in first-class cricket. Their stand of 366 - in 81 overs and 300 minutes, if you please - is the highest seventh-wicket partnership in the history of the County Championship, beating the 344 shared between K S Ranjitsinhji and Billy Newham for Sussex against Essex at Leyton in 1902 (it's not every day you take a record off Ranji.)
Awesome to find this cricket thread, I'm a big fan myself. Sadly not going to see any ashes this year unless I can convince the wife that its not as boring as she thinks it is.
Do you have any advice on how to get someone to see the joy in cricket? She cant even stomach 20/20!
