The missing one is an Aussie from the very early days of Test Cricket.

Thought it was Tup Scott, but he went in at 6 in Innings 2, Lord's 1884.

That's who I have Peter. I'll take your word on #6, but close enough.

In the recently completed series BD v Eng, in their 1st innings of the 1st Test the Bangers crashed to be all out 220 after a 170 runs 2nd wicket stand between Tamim Iqbal (104) & Mominul Haque (66). This was the 5th instance of a team total under 225 that included an individual 100 and 50. Can you name the other 4 instances?

Nah. Campbell made 170 and Adrian Griffith made 114. They put on 276 and the WI collapsed to all out 365 v NZ at Hamilton in Dec 1999.

Nah. GCS made 123* but no other Aus made 50 as we were dismissed for 233 v NZ in Hobart in Dec 2011.

Hey! Last night I trawled through the innings by innings records of every Australian who might have fitted the criteria & disregarded Tup Scott because he batted at #6 in the second innings. Wasted a heap of time. I could have gone to bed early.

But think of all you learned ....

I learned that if I had gone to bed an hour earlier, I would have felt better today.

You have a point, sadly.
