Good one, Pies4.Pies4shaw wrote:That, by the way, was the highest fourth innings total ever made to win a Test match within an over.
All my own work.
Second fastest Test win since 1936. Thought I just heard this on the ABC News.
Is that correct ? And ... Overall or Australian ?

It's a game. Enjoy it.

The ABC report carries this:
Here's the overall list: https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/conte ... 15456.html
So, the stat was just for Australia. The fastest victories for Australia by balls bowled are:
109.2 overs v South Africe, 1932, Melbourne. That's also the fastest ever victory overall.
198 (4 ball) overs v England, 1888, Lord's.
145.2 overs v New Zealand, 1946, Wellington.
148.5 overs v Pakistan, 2002, Sharjah.
153.2 overs v Sri Lanka, 2022, Galle.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-01/ ... /101202166The win came in 153.2 overs for the Test match, Australia's fastest since it demolished Pakistan in Sharjah in 2002.

"Three Sri Lanka players have been ruled out of the second Test against Australia in Galle, starting on Friday, after they tested positive to COVID-19.
Dhananjaya de Silva, Asitha Fernando and Jeffrey Vandersay, who all played in the first Test, returned positive COVID tests on Wednesday, ruling them out of the series finale.
It brings to five the number of Sri Lankan players who have tested positive to the virus in the past week.
Former skipper Angelo Mathews will be available for the second Test despite testing positive during last week's first Test, which forced him out of the side partway through the match."

Labu, Smith blunt Lankans attack.
After Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat, Sr Lanka took the early wicket of Dave Warner (5) and then Usman Khawaja (37). Marnus Labuchagne and Steve Smith added 134 for the 3rd. wicket.
Labu was out, just before tea, for 104.
Aust. 3/204. Smith is 52n.o.
