About a Bangla ....

I think his cricinfo profile answers that one, no?

(If it relates to the previous teaser in some way ...)

Indeed so, Pete. Out with it.

[PeterCS]

Against West Indies in 2003-04, he suffered the ignominy of falling to the first ball of the match in consecutive Tests, and it has been a struggle to assert himself ever since.

[PeterCS]

Bed for me anyway. Night Skulls and whoever else is still/already/for whatever reason around ...

[skully]

Close enough. He is actually the only player to be dismissed 3 times with the first ball of the innings by the same bowler:

PT Collins Hannan Sarkar  BD  v WI   Dhaka            2002-03
PT Collins Hannan Sarkar  BD  v WI   Gros Islet       2004    
PT Collins Hannan Sarkar  BD  v WI   Kingston         2004    

[embee]

he suffered the ignominy of falling to the first ball of the match in consecutive Tests,

[PeterCS]

cricinfo was being kind then ...

[PeterCS]

Could hardly be worse than suffering the ignominy of being roasted alive on a regular basis on FB. SIUYBG.

[G.Wood]

It was deliberate. He has access to SBBOCT and is sworn off answering Qs. It was a not so subtle HINT.

.

He may have assumed I was a Vomit and couldn't actually count up to 3

And a sniggery mention for Smiffy for being dismissed 3 times with the first ball of the innings by the crappiest trio:

GC Smith - SAf v SL Pretoria 2002-03 - WPUJC Vaas
GC Smith - SAf v NZ Auckland 2003-04 - CS Martin
GC Smith - SAf v Aus  Durban    2005-06 - B Lee

...and Tiger managed to do it as well ...on the batting side anyway

...and Tiger managed to do it as well ...on the batting side anyway

He did, when that sook DGB was too soft to bat on an MCG sticky in 36-37 and reversed the batting order. Turned out a masterstroke.

I thought HADLEE was the only one that mattered (to get up your fellow-Ozzies' nozies).

Consider yourself Woodied, Pete.

OK, continuing on my earlier theme, Hannan Sarkar has the unfortunate record of being dismissed off the first ball of the innings 3 times by the same bowler, Pedro Collins.

Can you name the 3 players (other than Sarkar) that have been dismissed off the first ball of a team's innings twice by the same bowler?

[JGK]

Slater - Wasim?

[JGK]

Javed Omar - Zaheer

[skully]

Not Slats and WA but yes to Omar and Zack:

Batsmen dismissed twice on first ball of innings by same bowler:

Javed Omer     BD  v Ind  Mirpur           2007     Z Khan
Javed Omer     BD  v Ind  Mirpur           2007     Z Khan

And that be the 3:

ME Trescothick Eng v SAf Nottingham 2003 SM Pollock

ST Jayasuriya  SL  v Aus  Colombo(SSC)     1999-00 GD McGrath
ST Jayasuriya  SL  v Aus  Galle            1999-00 GD McGrath

Jayasurya had quite become McGrath's bunny towards the end of his career.
