Is 100 Andy Caddick?

Is 300 Sir Dick?

JGK wrote:Is 100 Andy Caddick?

No, but nearly. He was the best I could find for a good while until I found one better.

JGK wrote:Is 300 Sir Dick?

No.

Oh, and 200 is Violet's 10 for.

No, that took him from 225 to 234.

is 100 Henry?

You'll kick yourself with 200.

Ah, his 300th was 1/74, not 10/74!

JGK wrote:is 100 Henry?

Nah, but he did take 5-fer (5/116).

Yes, it was. He took 3/42 to move to 200.

OH, it was that match just over 40 years which I've erased from my memory banks.

Headingley 81? No.

This one should've been picked up early.

Willis's 8/43 at Headingley 81 took him from 207 to 214.

Have to zip up to the shops.

Back soon.

100 is a relatively famous spinner from yesteryear.

200 & 300 are prolific wicket-takers.

Damn. I need to check my S&D technique.

skully wrote:You'll kick yourself with 200.

OK, so it's better than Clarrie's 7/40.

200 - Graham McKenzie's 8- v Windies Boxing Day 1968?

OK, is 100 Tony Lock?

200 seems to be Chuck's 9 for.

And I assume 300 is Broad in another match that I had put out of my memory banks.

Oh yes, it was the 8-15 at Trent Bridge!
