Clue: it relates to match aggregates

Should Sri Lanka vs India be 702?

Bugger, so it should. 1000 apologies.

Very good, embee.

skully has trained me well to spot the "deliberate" errors in questions

by embee Mon 25 Jan 2016, 02:26

nice question OP

you would like to think that scoring that many runs would mean you wouldn't lose at all ...let alone by an innings

Just remind me why Robson got such short shrift?

Bad Australian?

Played at, and usually edged, everything a couple of feet outside off.

You could say the same thing about Carberry, really. One of the more solid batsmen on the last Ashes in Oz. And also compared with most of the others in the last three years at #2.

Admittedly not saying a lot, on either score ...

Anno domini did work against him, I suppose.

It's a bit of a slow arvo. Anyone care for a bit of a search and destroy (with clues)?

In the recently completed 1st Test between NZ & Aus, 5 Kiwi bowlers each took 2 wickets. Remarkably this had only happened 6 other times in Test Cricket. Can you name the matches?

5 bowlers each taking 2 wickets in a Test innings:

1. Early days

2. Bannie Test, early 80s

3. Wackie Test, late 90s

4. Another Wackie Test, early 2000s

5. Sheep Test, mid 2000s

6. Banger Test, fairly recent.

7. NZ v Aus, Wellington, 2015-16 - TG Southee; TA Boult; DAJ Bracewell; CJ Anderson; MC Craig
(KS Williamson didn't take a wicket)
