John Benaud (link)

Useful spell by the younger Benaud - handy wickets in his last match. This was also Charlie Davis's last match ... dropped with a Test average of well over 50. WI selectorial policy has always been a bit strange.

Mark Butcher's 2001 spell should be here

And Basil Butcher's spell back in the late 60's.

Clive Lloyd's spell in the first WC final.

(and all of Muralitharan's spells ...)

Would've counted a lot more if he bowled himself more. Mind you he had enough shit to put up with.

All good nominations ... but I was thinking more of those spells where someone who almost NEVER bowled came on and took wickets.

Eastwood at Sydney in 1971.

You're joking. That was the biggest fluke of all time, and only because the groundsman had juiced the pitch incorrectly.

IIRC Luckhurst dismissed Viswanath or Wadekar in England in 1971, though the game was virtually over ...

Significant for being the biggest fluke then.

I remember Ponting getting Vaughan during the 05 Ashes but I think it was a match we ended up losing anyway.

JGK: Martyn got Key out as well, but I think the Blobster was just hungry.

Alastair Cook is a candidate for the future - hardly ever bowls but has semi-respectable spin and a FC average around 30! Got Joe Denly out in a FC match.

Slightly less glamorous, but I suppose Iron Mike Bunny's getting Vengsarkar is a bit of a rarity.

Since Atherton took only one other Test wicket.

His back cut his fledgeling career as England's leading all-rounder short.
