The 2012 Trivia Thread

[skully]

On this slow public holiday, how about the first search and destroy for 2012? In the most recent Test SAf v SL, bowler took a michelle in each of the 4 innings. This was the 20th time that this happened in Tests. Wanna find the previous 19?

Misread the question again. Oh dear.

W & W do not appear in the list of 20.

[Big Dog]

Looks like the trike is giving the stats guru a thrashing.

[skully]

Good to have another on board who likes his stats. JGK and the Beanie are busy with tax returns, and AD is asleep.

I reckon lardy could even guess a few of these. A couple of famous fairly recent ones at least.

[Paul Keating]

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!

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.

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?
