Re: The 2012 Trivia Thread

Checked the Ancient tests again
Australia England 1885, SCG
Wilf Flowers (5/46), Tom Horan(6/40), Billy Bates(5/24), Demon Spofforth(6/90)
Can't find the other

Does anyone remember this match? Australia vs NZ at the MCG in 1987
McDermott(5/97), Hadlee(5/109 and 5/67), Tony Dodemaide (6/58)

3rd Test West Indies vs India Queens Park Oval 1989
Ayub(5/117), Marshall (5/34 and 6/55), Kapil Dev(5/58)

I seriously need to find a life.

Aye x 3. And I certainly remember the 87-88 MCG Test. It was Tony Dodemaide's debut and he made 50 and took a michelle on debut. The game famously finished with Aus 9 down and 17 short of victory after cruising at 3-147 and 5-209 chasing 247 for victory. Renowned rabbit no. 11 Mike Whitney played out the whole last over to Paddles Hadlee for the draw.

And checked the 2nd missing ancient one and there was 2 4-fers in the 4th innings but not a 5-fer. Apologies.

Bryan Waddle never stopped mentioning the umpire for that (Australia NZ) match during the second test.

I seriously need to find a life.

I think i am the one in need of a life. This is now my tenth year of forumming on the old C4, the new C4 and the Bails.

Although perhaps the OP needs to get a life. I mean 50000 posts. FMD!

The only reason I didn't join earlier was because I lived in the stone age and didn't have an internet connection till a month or so ago and had to browse in a cyber cafe. Moment I get one, my life has dissolved into forumming.

Famous dead rubber
England vs Australia, final Ashes test 1997
McGrath (7/76), Tufnell(7/76), Kasprowicz(7/36) and Caddick(5/42)
Is it the only match with 3 7fers?

South Africa vs Pakistan Durban, 1998
Donald(5/79), Akhtar(5/43), Pollock(6/50) and Mushtaq Ahmed(6/78)

Went to this match but didn't remember this
India vs Pakistan Chennai 1998
Kumble(6/70), Saqlain(5/94 and 5/93), Venkatesh Prasad (6/33)

[skully]

The 1997 Oval match is a remarkable set of stats. It's the only Test featuring 3 separate 7-fers. So you've knocked another 3 off, Well done, and welcome to the world of forumming and no life. I love it.

Nice world so far.

Murali(6/59 and 5/153), Warne(5/116 and 5/43)
Warne's 4th in the second innings was his 500th.

I reckon lardy would've guessed the race for 500 Test as well.

That 2 more down, just one mid-80s match to come.

was that a monocycle?

I gotta go out for a bit, but here's another record that cropped up in the Durban Test. Jackie Kallis made a pair to join a select band of batsmen who have made a century in each innings of a Test AND made a pair. Who are the other 11 to achieve it?

Century in each innings AND a pair in Tests (alphabetically):

Not searched yet for this but surely Gooch started with a pair and scored a 300 and 100 in the same match

Odd sports fact...

[Allan D]

Not searched yet for this but surely Gooch started with a pair and scored a 300 and 100 in the same match

Most obvious answer, I would have thought, pair v. Oz at Edgbaston, 1975, 333 & 123 (exceeding Lara's tally by 56 for most runs in a Test) v. India, Lord's 1990. Good start, though, Trikes.
