Always a pleasure to update this thread. Quinton de Kock makes his second entry of the series after 68 off 81. And this innings definitely does qualify in nearly every way with a few question marks already about his conversion rate.

Hash, Hash, Hash! Although a good deal slower than QdK this was still a classy knock until that dumb hook shot.

Occasionally I have done a 'name that player' trivia question. Therefore can you name the player who scored 8 tons and and 24 50s in what was highlighted as the second part of their career? This player played 59 tests in that period at an average of 44.53.

PS a hypothetical but if we were to rename this thread, de Kock is making a good case for the honour.

Pretty amazing stat - he's averaging over 50 (after 20something tests) with just 3 hundreds.

No, I'm a little surprised that you don't know unless of course you are trying to play, in which case respect due!
Even though someone cheekily added IR Bell to the thread title after I created it I do admit that it was my misanthropy towards his too many uncoverted 50s that led to said creation!

Did he ever get more than one ton in a series in that time?

I saw one of their trucks the other day. Many would probably consider the name apt.

I see that he got a 50 and Warwickshire didn't set a high enough score again

It should be pointed out that with his 69 at Lord's (ooh-err!) that Alastair Cook had reached his 99th non-converted 50 in first class cricket. This is alongside 59 f/c tons, 30 of those being in test cricket. Will he make it 31 test tons and 60 f/c tons or will an unwanted milestone be achieved when he completes his innings today?
In fairness despite only having 5 of his tons in his last 50 tests the conversion rate of passing 50 and converting them into tons is still good.
