MrK, perhaps you've misunderstood. Majid made 108 at the MCG then in the next Test made a pair in Perth. I'm after the 6 players who did what Elgar did, consecutive 100 and pair at the consecutive matches at the one (or same) away venue.

Ah - my mistake although in my defence, the question itself is a bit vague:

"A pair and a century (or vice versa) in consecutive Tests at an AWAY venue"

Now come on!!!!! You know that's my speciality!!!

Taylor at Karachi?

Nice work on Freddie, W. I didn't have him. So looking for 7 players who did an Elgar.

A pair and a century (or vice versa) in consecutive Tests at the same AWAY venue:

?

FMM Worrell (WI) at Melbourne (Aus) - 108 & 30, 1951-52/0 & 0 (2nd), 1960-61

MA Atherton (Eng) at Johannesburg (SAf) - 9 & 185*, 1995-96/0 & 0, 1999-00

A Flintoff (Eng) at St Johns (WI) - 102* & 14, 2003-04/0 & 0, 2008-09

D Elgar (SAf) at Perth (Aus) - 0 & 0, 2012-13/12 & 127, 2016-17

Tubby played 2 Tests at Karachi, making a pair in Sep 1994, and 16 & 68 in Oct 1998.

Very good, MrK. That's it, as far as I know.

as alluded to earlier, Ross Edwards missed out on a hundred at Leeds by 1 run in 1975 having made a pair there in 1972; or he'd be on this list as well.

Is Gatting the only one to have scored a duck and a ton in consecutive tests at the same ground?

good question

consecutive Tests can't have been played at the same ground very often

or do you mean consecutive tests played at the same ground by the same player

the latter (skully) version.

very good clarification, although I see there were a few consecutive Tests played at Melbourne early on

Is this how you bastards do it?

Turns out he is.

I've got one man as the only player to score centuries in actual consecutive tests played at the same ground

Quickie: In the fairly recent WI's victory over Pakistan in Sharjah, Kraigg Brathwaite became the 1st opening bat to be not out in both innings of a Test. He also witnessed 15 consecutive dismissals at the other end.

Only one man has witnessed more consecutive dismissals at the other end in a Test. Who?

Fixed.

Jack Hobbs Tests numbers 109 and 110?

Wasn't Dessie last man out twice in a match?

Huh? Hobbs never scored a duck and ton in the same match.
