Trivia 2019

Vic Pollard's pair of 55s for NZ v Eng at Lords in June 1965 is not the highest pair of identical scores for a no. 6.

JGK wrote:We were close to having twin 142/144s at Edgbaston.

Indeed. Still, it's the only time someone has made twin 140s in a Test. Border still has the record as the only player with twin 150 scores in a Test.

So where they came in at for that innings.

Er, what?

I seem to recall Freddie scoring twin 50 flats in a match. No idea when, where or st what batting position.

I await MB's bagging of my wording even though Wally and MrK clearly understand my Q.

Flintoff made twin 50-exactlys v India at Mumbai in March 2006. He batted at 6 in I1 and 7 in I2. Even so, his exact 50s would not have topped the man with the best no. 6 pair of identical scores.

Is the No 11 record Saffie Robertson with 9?

Indeed it is, MrK. Nicely played.

Is No 10, Gough with 23s?

Based on my clues so far, we are still looking for:

- a no. 1 who made 50+ <100 in each innings
- a no. 2 who made 50+ <100 in each innings
- a no. 3 who made >54 <100 in each innings
- a no. 6 who made >55 <100 in each innings
- a no. 7 and 8 who made <50 in each innings
- a no. 10 who made <50 in each innings

The best No 8 twin scores I could find was a pair of 18s by Norman Yardley.

JGK wrote:Is No 10, Gough with 23s?

No, looking for nearly double that.

So Super Kalli was fantastic, England were atrocious?

Boom Tish.

Down to:
