So the BabyKs must've been bathed allowing JGK to go home.

Sorry but I am trying to settle an argument with a friend and google is only coming up with the record attendance for a day's play.

Does anyone know the record cricket attendance over an entire test?

by Bradman Mon 29 Nov 2010, 04:24

Probably Melbourne.

by G.Wood Mon 29 Nov 2010, 04:43

It was that Asian test championship thingy a decade or so back

by Paul Keating Mon 29 Nov 2010, 04:51

Okay, thanks.

it's only wiki but it says 465,000

by Paul Keating Mon 29 Nov 2010, 05:01

fantastic, thank you very much.

by G.Wood Mon 29 Nov 2010, 05:04

Does that mean you win?

by Paul Keating Mon 29 Nov 2010, 05:08

Yep.

He tried to claim the attendance at a golf masters was more than cricket.

Record at the British Golf Open is approx 230 000 back in 2006

I was amazed that many people go to the golf. It doesn't strike me as a spectator friendly sport. Too much walking around. I'd rather sit back in a seat and watch the cricket.

People who like golf are usually a bit nutty

Continuing on Tanvir's achievements on debut, in the recent 2nd Test Pak v SAf at Abu Dhabi, he managed a 5-fer and a 50 partnership (first time bowling and first time batting - not 2nd innings performances) on debut. This is a remarkably rare achievement. Can you name the other 7 players to achieve the feat?

5 wkts in 1st innings and sharing in 50 partnership in 1st inns on debut (score and partnership listed - in alphabetical order):

I think Bruce Taylor did it during his spectacular debut. I was also going to say Tony Dodemaide but when I checked out that match, he got the michelle in the second innings.

by skully Mon 29 Nov 2010, 10:36

Aye Wally, Bruce Taylor indeed complies and Dodemaide does not.
