- He’s not that young, he’s in his prime. Maybe another year or two at this level. (n/m) (Other Sports) - APB, Jan 7, 15:15:37
- Just meant really that I think he will achieve a lot more and eventually (Other Sports) - Jim, Jan 7, 15:19:22
- Just feel, to use a cliche, plenty left in the tank from him, he just seems that guy. (n/m) (Other Sports) - DrDublin, Jan 7, 15:25:35
- I’m thinking of Botham and Flintoff. (Other Sports) - APB, Jan 7, 15:43:52

- Not quite the answer to the question, but the two slowest test 50s ever were both scored (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 7, 17:01:05
- I thought Tavare would be there somewhere (Other Sports) - paulg, Jan 7, 17:12:27
- He was, although he wasn't alone back then. Test cricket was often pretty attritional. (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 7, 17:29:09
- Tavare could be swashbuckling at times playing for Kent. (Other Sports) - MORDENCANARY, Jan 7, 17:32:02
- Ha, in fact while Tavare was scoring that 78 off 289 balls (strike rate of 27) (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 7, 17:31:42
