You see, DH, the info I need on finch, I already have for Jones, Hayden, Warner, GChappell, MWaugh, Bevan, Ponting, Gilchrist and Smithy. Can u grasp this at all?
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
I am not obsessed with Finch , but this info is important to me for like two lines in a 500 page book i am completing.
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
Yes. All the times, apart from the two established ones, that big Maxy starred or even co starred in 275+ run chases.
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
I just did look it up. Fine performance. Do u know of any others? You are the one being a goose not me. I type in every description under the sun and I still don’t arrive at Finches odi tons, for example. Stop being a mongr-l and try being a decent person.
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
Alright I’ll look it up. Thanks. Can you give me others? Kudos and gratitude if u can. Stop being a d–k.
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
That tells me nothing. I need specific instances where he starred chasing 275+ targets.
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
It was a serious question. I would welcome info. If u have any for Finch I would also welcome that. Finch’s tons aren’t listed on Wikipedia with links to the matches because he didn’t play enough tests but I am assuming his chasing record is as dismal as Warner’s. But I would welcome it if u have more accurate info. Stop being a dousche.

Don and I go way back. Against my better judgement I seem to disregard the sarge’s regular advice not to engage with him (Don).

Whatever else I or anyone else on the roar says about you Donny Boy, you do have a fine sense of humour on occasions. 😁

Well if that ain’t a thief crying out thief … 😂
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
D/L is only adequate when a chasing team’s innings is prematurely terminated without prior warning. All other situations it is rat sh-t-.
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
Read my articles on the matter.
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
Ok tell me the scores of all occasions you know of when he has starred in successful 275+ chases.
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
Yes I did err by forgetting it was a 282 off 42 target so well above par and therefore a great chase. It’s the first i know of for Maxwell which gives him one more than Jones, Hayden, Warner and Finch combined.
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
280-290 is about par these days.
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
Get over yourself. 280-290 is about par these days. 40 years ago it was 200. It was a good chase but not a great one. 286 in 1996 was a great chase.

I’m pretty hopeless with cars beyond where petrol goes, yes, but overall a lot more intelligent than you, on and off the cricket field. You have my genuine respect if u r genuinely mechanically minded. 👍
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
It seems you do have. You mentioned Sri Lanka were not bowled out which is irrelevant.
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
A brilliant comment i assure u Donny my boy.
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
No sh-t sherlock. Sri Lankas innings does not figure in calculations at all.
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
No apology necessary Patrick. I can’t read it all as I am literally about to go to bed. But I surely will tomorrow. Many thanks in advance.
