I can't find it and am too depressed by the Australian batting effort to spend any more time looking.

A fair call.

I looked at SAf captains the other night. Forgot all about Pollock

Anyhoo, thanks Skully. That was fun.

[skully]

He's a pretty forgettable Saffie skipper.

[simkat]

Evidently.

[Paul Keating]

I can't remember if this happened. But did Katich and Ponting depart in consecutive balls in the test? If so is this the first instance of a diamond duck followed by a golden duck?

[JGK]

Very possible.

[embee]

Possibly happened in this game

In Australia's rather appalling 1st innings effort in the 2nd Test at Adelaide the team total of 245 featured 3 scores of 50 or more - SR Watson 51, MEK Hussey 93 & BJ Haddin 56. This is the 5th lowest all out Test total to feature 3 50s. Name the 4 lower totals. And for extra points name the other 2 totals below 250 with 3 individual 50s.
