Is it possible for him to score a small ton?

A big ton is one chasing a highly improbable score vs a good opposition. Yes it is possible to score a small vs big ton if it is that was your line of questioning.

vs a good opposition


confession is good for the soul even if it's only convenient to confess big grin

the one thing with Jimbo at this stage is you can count on him getting tired at some point

that's where he needs to continue his fitness march

1 year or weight loss and improved fitness and he will finish games better

A “big” ton has always been described as a score of 150 or over

Any ton less than that is a ton.

If it’s a ton as you describe, it’s usually described as critical, important, timely, crucial or something along those lines. Not big.

Any ton scored by a Revo, is big lol lol

Did anyone notice, the Revo never acknowledged Samuel's ton?

One could score a 150 in a dead rubber match. Is that big?

critical, important, timely, crucial or something along those lines. Not big


A Leewards win would have set them atop of the table. Guyana has a good team and they just won their 3rd straight 4 day championship. When Jimbo was dismissed the team needed less than a run a ball so noone could argue that he did not set them up nicely for the win.

I agree with Music on this. That still IS a big ton... for the sheer weight in runs. It's NOT, meaningful, critical, important, crucial, etc, however.

In reply to imusic... Yaadies would say big. Meaning timely etc. etc. Yaadies influencing VOR revo in many ways.
