See what happens you're an unemployed bum...

Special mention to Q, for his pair of Vic Pollard 55s and pair of Kalli 80s.

I'm sure you'll be polishing a highly paid seat soon enough.

Mark Dekker opening in Pakistan. Not sure what number you're gonna call him.

Farking phone calls

Who did Woakes take the #9 record from?

Surely a few of those are incorrect if red inking reduces the average ...

The #8 and #11 records are piss weak, someone could surely have a good go at beating them...

26* & 26 - AM Moir - NZ v Eng, Wellington, 1950-51
&
26 & 26* - N Phillip - WI v Aus, Kingston, 1978

Have to head out for a while, but here's a quickie:

Virat Kohli made a 50 (76) and a golden duck in the recent 2nd Test v WI in Kingston. This was the 23rd instance of a captain making a 50 and a golden duck in the same Test.

2 Qs...

1. Which captain did it twice?

2. Who has the record for the highest score by a captain in a Test where he also made a golden duck?

Captains making a 50+ and a golden duck in a Test:

1. ?

2. ?

Is 2 Pup in Cape Town?

Bradman on the invincibles tour?

Looks like Sobers did it twice.

MrK has both the answers.

Captains making a 50+ and a golden duck in a Test:

1. 0 & 113* – GStA Sobers (WI) v Eng, Kingston, 1967-68
132 & 0 – GStA Sobers (WI) v Ind, Port-of-Spain(5), 1970-71

2. 161* & 0 – MJ Clarke (Aus) v SAf, Cape Town, 2013-14

DGB did make the list of 23 but not on the Invincibles tour:

0 & 82 – DG Bradman (Aus) v Eng, Sydney(2), 1936-37
