Q461 edit

Who is the earliest born test cricketer and who's the earliest born ODI cricketer? Jpeeling 08:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean ever, or the earliest born current player (i.e. the eldest?) –MDCollins (talk) 09:00, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's ever, sorry for not being clear Jpeeling 09:13, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Test - James Southerton - 16th November 1827, ODI - Brian Close - 24th February 1931 --Bedders 09:51, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Correct. Over to you. Jpeeling 09:58, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Bedders, a question please. Blowtorch 10:04, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q462 edit

Sorry, slipped my mind. What is the highest first class innings scored entirely with boundaries? --Bedders 10:38, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

46 by John Emburey? On a tour with England IIRC... 164.36.142.217 12:03, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's been beaten recently with "joke" bowling --Bedders 12:11, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's Mark Pettini who scored 114* off 29 balls in 24 mins, Scorecard, [1]. Jpeeling 16:55, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Correct all yours JP --Bedders 19:08, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Harrumph! Quite annoying, really. One of the few that I "knew" without having to look it up, and it's no longer the case!
I've updated Embers' page. WillE 18:17, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q463 edit

On what date did ODI's overtake Tests (in terms of numbers) and at what number were they equal? Jpeeling 20:22, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By my reckoning it was equal during the World Cup on 21st May 1999 with number 1454 and ODIs overtook their 5-day brother the next day. Who could ever forget? --Travisbasevi 21:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Over to you Travisbasevi Jpeeling 07:49, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q464 edit

Bit obtuse this one. What "10" in the scorebook of this match is a record throughout Test history? --Travisbasevi 11:30, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dammit. I know about a 10 in the previous Test match but not this one :-/ Tintin 11:40, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The only 10 I can see there is Alec Bedser's 10 not out, which does not look all that remarkable. He was also a number 10 batsman, but that can't be than unusual, surely? I wondered if it was his 10th Test innings, but, as far as I can tell, it was his 11th. Is it one of the other No 10 batsmen, George Tribe or Doug Wright?
Is it anything to do with England being all out twice with only 9 wickets down because Len Hutton was injured (Australia were the only team to lose 10 wickets, but there must be plenty of Test matches were only one - or neither - team loses 10 wickets). And I see from Cricinfo that Ron Hamence scored 1 run off 10 balls in 10 minutes in the Australia's second innings...[2] OK, I am clutching at straws now :)
Perhaps there was an all-run 10 off one ball, or a 10 after two sets of overthrows? -- ALoan (Talk) 12:36, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What was the interesting 10 in the previous match, Tintin? The most minutes Bradman ever went without scoring???? Stephen Turner (Talk) 12:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Godfrey Evans took 97 minutes to get off the mark (Geoff Allott batted longer without scoring, but never got off the mark) and ended up on 10*. I almost wrote it as the answer after looking at the series before realising that it was the wrong match. Tintin 12:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For a clue, it's not a literal "10" in the scorebook. It's more of a "ten-instances-of-something"... --Travisbasevi 13:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ten different entries in the scorecard: Retired injured, bowled, caught, hit wicket, not out, lbw, run out, stumped, absent hurt, dnb --Bedders 13:34, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Spot on. The baton is yours. --Travisbasevi 13:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Good one. Tintin 13:46, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q465 edit

Who connects Duran Duran to a 3 times England international cricketer without a run to his name, via Lancashire? --Bedders 14:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arthur Mold is the only player I can find that played 3 times and didn't score a run. He played for Lancashire, so that fits - but what would be the link to Duran Duran - did he play with LeBon, Taylor A, Taylor J, Taylor R, or Rhodes?--Roberry 14:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My research tells me it's date related: is that the right track? к1иgf1$н£я5ω1fт 15:53, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nope and nope :) --Bedders 20:29, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is Mold the cricketer that we need to link to Duran Duran?--Roberry 20:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, and the person you are looking for connects the cricketer to Duran Duran --Bedders 21:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK - so Joey Benjamin also got 3 caps (between Test and ODI), so we need a link via Lancashire between him and Duran Duran, unless I still have the wrong person--Roberry 02:19, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Right player, keep going :) --Bedders 04:51, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Joey Benjamin is married to the Lancastrian sister of one of the Taylors for Duran Duran?164.36.142.217 13:47, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Joey Benjamin's only test match was against South Africa [3] and he may have bowled to Jonty Rhodes (before Malcolm knocked him out), in his first ODI [4] he bowled to Mark Taylor and in his second ODI [5] he bowled to Alistair Campbell? but this dosent link to Lancashire. Jpeeling 16:35, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nice try but Ali Campbell was in UB40, not Duran Duran. WillE 23:21, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I was referring to Sterling Campbell Jpeeling 08:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I love some of the thinking involved so far, but it's not in the right direction, so a couple of clues. The Duran Duran connection is Simon Le Bon, the Lancashire connection is Blackburn. --Bedders 16:44, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wild guess - Tim de Lisle? --UdayS 03:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've obviously made this too cryptic, the individual in question is from the West Indies --Bedders 07:39, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Labon Kenneth Blackburn Leeweltine Buckonon Benjamin [6] [7][8] Jpeeling 09:05, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Otherwise known as Gravy, we have a winner! Well done JP :) --Bedders 10:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q466 edit

I'll try a double question involving tests and ODI's again, which cricketer played in eight of the first nine ODI's and more impressively who played in all 17 of the first test matches? Jpeeling 11:20, 30 April 2007 (UTC) ODIs: Keith Fletcher[9]. Tests: Jack Blackham[10]. Stephen Turner (Talk) 11:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Over to Stephen Jpeeling 12:03, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q467 edit

Sorry, I can't think of a question at the moment. Anyone else want to ask one? Stephen Turner (Talk) 09:39, 2 May 2007 (UTC) I'll have a go. What did Keith Boyce do, uniquely among all Test players, to emulate the delectable Ingrid Bergman? --Travisbasevi 11:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Died on his/her birthday. Didn't some other Test cricketer miss this by one or two days fairly recently (within the last three-four years) ? Tintin 11:21, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't think that would last long, although perhaps a little longer than 5 minutes. Alec Coxon came close last year, but I think you're thinking of David Sheppard. That's not your question is it?! --Travisbasevi 11:31, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you go back through the archives, I'm sure you'll find that five minutes is quite slow..... 164.36.142.217 12:09, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is the record Tintin 12:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So the question might well be, why is Tintin getting so slow? ;-) Johnlp 13:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sheppard it was. Thanks. Will ask the question in a little while. Tintin 11:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. How many deceased Test cricketers are there?
William Shakespeare is said to have died on his birthday too, although his exact birthday is uncertain.
Stephen Turner (Talk) 11:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q468 edit

Jack MacBryan played one Test match, did not bat, bowl or take a catch. This may look like an unbeatable record but someone nearly bettered it in the last decade. This person's debut Test match was interrupted by rain - he did not bat, bowl and unlike MacBryan who fielded, this guy did not even take the field and was dropped after this Test match. Unfortunately he was recalled to the side some years later and played a few more Tests. Who is this ? Tintin 13:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

UNfortunately? Harsh, unless he performed so badly in his other tests that the country as a whole regretted his selection.... 164.36.142.217 13:33, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Prasanna Jayawardene, who made his debut against Pakistan in 2000 and his second Test was just over two year later
Well done, over to you. WillE, he would have possibly been more famous if he hadn't made the comeback  ! Tintin 13:54, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Impressive, but scary, Tintin that you can recognise someone from a string of numbers and digits! WillE 12:29, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, that was me anwering that, but without a signature sorry --Travisbasevi 14:01, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q469 edit

Who was the first player to make his Test debut after his ODI debut? --Travisbasevi 14:02, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Hayes made his Test debut on 26 July 1973, eight days after his ODI debut. (Bob Woolmer was the first to make his ODI debut - 24 August 1972 - before his Test debut, but his Test debut wasn't until 31 July 1975). Raven42 14:45, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Close! And you avoided the Woolmer trap. But Hayes was second to do so, there was someone before him. --Travisbasevi 14:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Found him. Jeff Hammond's test debut was on 16 February 1973, and his ODI on 28 August 1972. Raven42 15:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes indeed, on to you it is.--Travisbasevi 15:23, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aah.... I see how to do a definite link now. Learn something new everyday! 164.36.142.217 15:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q470 edit

Of the players to have never bowled in a Test, who has the most Test runs? Raven42 13:34, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Flemming? --LiamE 13:43, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'll assume you mean Stephen and not Damien, so yes. :-) Raven42 13:49, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q471 edit

"Mrs Robinson" was a number one hit. Why is this ironic? --LiamE 03:11, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jacqueline Robinson hit 57 in her only Test? Presumably this makes her a One-Test Wonder? -- ALoan (Talk) 09:25, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting but not the answer I was thinking of... more along the lines of a Mr Robinson. --LiamE 14:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ray Robinson played 1 Test in his career and was far from a hit, being dropped after scores of 2 and 3? --Travisbasevi 15:19, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting again but not the answer I'm after.... Its first class performance(s) that our Mr Robinson is (in)famous for. --LiamE 16:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Is this referring to Mark Robinson and his world record 12 noughts in a row? Jpeeling 16:26, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think his page focuses too much on his batting. Would a page for an out and out batsman give a season by season analysis of his bowling just beause he never took wickets?WillE 11:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That our man... Mrs Robinson can get to 1 all over the world but Mr Robinson can't! Over to you... --LiamE 16:34, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q472 edit

I'm a right handed opener who was born in the fifties in England. My only first class century came in one of my three test matches. My younger brother played in far more tests despite not scoring a century or taking a five for. Who Am I? Jpeeling 17:00, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm at a loss, have just spent 40 minutes looking through the lists of all players to make their test debut since 1960 and I can only find 2 players who have played 3 tests and scored a century, Leonard Baichan and John Benaud. Only Benaud has a more famous brother, neither were born in the 50s and neither were born in England. Any hints available? KingStrato 21:43, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Female? -- ALoan (Talk) 22:27, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
1850s? Although I couldn't find any England players. Could be born in England who played for Australia or any other country. –MDCollins (talk) 23:52, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That'd be Charles Bannerman, then. His brother Alec played 28 Tests with bests of 94 and 3/111. Raven42 00:02, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
correct on both counts except the name then - must get some credit for working out the question for you...<begs>–MDCollins (talk) 00:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for being sneaky but I wanted it to last for longer than a hour, technically fifties refers to the decade from 50 to 59 in any century. Well done MDCollins for working it out but Raven42 got the answer so it's over to Raven42 for Q473 Jpeeling 08:25, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Is it Alick or Alec Bannerman? The article on him is Alick Bannerman, but he's refered to as Alec in the article. Cricinfo also has him down as Alec. KingStrato 16:18, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think we had a discussion about this at WT:CRIC some time ago, but I forget the outcome. Stephen Turner (Talk) 16:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Can't find it in the archive, although maybe I missed it. –MDCollins (talk) 13:35, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, me neither. I think we discovered that both spellings are used in different sources. Although I prefer to follow Cricinfo and CricketArchive. Stephen Turner (Talk) 14:02, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Talk:List_of_Australian_Test_cricketers#Alick_Bannerman.3F Tintin 14:18, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, that's where it was. Thanks. Stephen Turner (Talk) 21:59, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've noted it in the opening sentence, but feel free to reorganise it. –MDCollins (talk) 15:10, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q473 edit

It's now more than 3 days, so to keep the quiz moving I'll ask a question and a easy one at that. Who was the first cricketer to appear in 100 Tests and who was the first cricketer to play 100 ODI's? Jpeeling 18:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Might be easy for you but I only know the Test cricketer. I won't say who I think it is, unless I work out who the ODI cricketer is--Roberry 21:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Colin Cowdrey and Allan Border? WillE 22:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well done WillE, Allan Border beat Sir Viv by 10 months. Jpeeling 07:51, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q474 edit

What do Neil Smith, Ray East, Stuart Turner and Kapil Dev have in common? WillE 12:52, 9 May 2007 (UTC) Four players most dismissed by David Gower, according to this к1иgf1$н£я5ω1fт 15:56, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the ONLY players dismissed by David Gower in first class cricket--Roberry 16:37, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AAAARGH, you swine! Victory stolen from me in the cruelest fashion. I shall go and weep into a greek salad now for all eternity :) к1иgf1$н£я5ω1fт 16:47, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The victory is yours - I merely looked at your link and noticed he had a grand total of 4 wickets. So most dismissed equals once--Roberry 18:36, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think it has to go to Roberry, as he gave the correct answer in the form I was looking for. Day light Roberry? Maybe. WillE 18:51, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q475 edit

So I need to think of a question. Which Test bowler uniquely links Ian Sinclair to Arthur Morris and why? (Hopefully there is only one answer)--Roberry 03:39, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Dewdney - He was the first man to get Sinclair out in test and the last to get Morris. --LiamE 08:45, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
i don't think Dewdney got Sinclair out in tests--Roberry 11:30, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, was only a guess, Dewdney was playing in those matches though. So if its not him, let me see... --LiamE 12:19, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Everton Weekes, Ian Sinclair's only test wicket was Everton Weekes [11]. Everton Weekes was also a one (test) wicket wonder his only victim was Arthur Morris [12]. Jpeeling 18:03, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct - next question is yours--Roberry 18:06, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Q476 edit

What links the following players: Jimmy Adams, Asanka Gurusinha, Ridley Jacobs, Moin Khan and Michael Vaughan Jpeeling 18:32, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They've all played test cricket? KingStrato 18:50, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's true, but not what I'm after. The last two questions are clues Jpeeling 19:18, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
They all are Ricky Ponting's test wickets. - Rachit.
That's the correct answer, Ricky has some got some good victims especially if you count his ODI wickets of Arjuna Ranatunga, Brian Lara and Heath Streak. All 8 international victims have scored more than 4000 international runs. Jpeeling 17:01, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the quiz, Rachit! Why not set up an acoount? - User:Rachit isn't taken. к1иgf1$н£я5ω1fт 15:29, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q477 edit

Rachit seems to have run for the hills, so I'll jump in with a question. Along with Everton Weekes' famous five Test tons in a row in 1948, who's the only other player with five consecutive international hundreds? I'm very interested if this is common knowledge for anyone, as it's an overlooked feat as far as I can see, especially in the reports at the time. --Travisbasevi 16:25, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In his purple patch last year Mohammad Yousuf got 4 centuries in 3 tests... I'm guessing its possible he had a ODI century around then too to make 5. --LiamE 16:59, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, Yousuf went all of 2006 without an ODI ton, so not him.--Travisbasevi 17:22, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zaheer Abbas -

  • 215 in the Test that started on December 10, 1982
  • 118 in an ODI on December 17
  • 186 in the Test that started on December 23
  • 105 in an ODI on December 31
  • 168 in the Test that started on Jan 3, 1983

I was thinking in terms of rebel tours. Once LiamE mentioned ODIs it was easy(because it was against us !). I knew that he scored three hundreds in a row in that series in both ODIs and Tests but hadn't made this connection. Tintin 17:44, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spot on. Part of an amazing combined run of 91, 126, 109, 52, 5* (v Aust), 10, 215, 118, 186, 105, 168, 25*, 113 (v Ind). 8 tons in 12 inns and out for less than 50 once in 13 inns over 4 months, 1323 runs, 120.27 ave. Makes Yousuf look like Chris Martin. --Travisbasevi 19:02, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, it makes Indian bowling effectiveness at the time look similar to Yousuf's bowling effectiveness. --UdayS
Yoyo had the best bowling average, strike rate and economy rate in the last World Cup ! [13] Tintin 17:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for holding up the proceedings again. Can someone ask the next one, please. Tintin 02:17, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q478 edit

  • Okay then, in the International Cavaliers Cricket Book (1969), who did journalist Judith Chalmers claim was the then current "heart throb" of international cricket? --Roisterer 06:31, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
John Snow? --Bedders 07:01, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Snow doesn't even make it into Chalmers' top 8, although Richie Benaud does. --Roisterer 07:28, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Graeme Pollock? Jpeeling 11:24, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Pollock didn't make it into the final 8 either. The heart throb in question was a Wisden cricketer of the year. --Roisterer 13:55, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Barry Richards? Rachit 00:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Not Richards either. I've just realised I can't count and in fact Chalmers lists 10 finalists; 4 English, 4 Australians and 2 West Indians. The heart throb in question was also considered by Dennis Lillee as the hardest batsman to get out. --Roisterer 00:46, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
John Edrich? he fits the clues of wisden cricketer of year, english (or west indian), averaged 49 against Australia and Lillee averaged 38 against him [14] Jpeeling 10:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
John Edrich is the heart throb, according to Ms Chalmers. She also admired his "nice mouth, lovely teeth" and his dress sense. For the record, the 1969 10 most handsome cricketers were (in no particular order): Edrich, Denis Compton ("something cuddly about him"), Norm O'Neill ("a very open, friendly face"), Ted Dexter ("angular good looks"), Richie Benaud ("charm and humour"), Keith Miller ("a little bit dangerous"), Neil Harvey ("clearly an outdoor man"), Rohan Kanhai ("has the looks of a diplomat"), Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie ("a deliciously naughty face") and Frank Worrell (has "the stride of a king"). --Roisterer 13:34, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hold on - Judith Chalmers? A cricket journalist?! Boggle. -- ALoan (Talk) 21:11, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q479 edit

What links these cricketers; Andrew Jones, Moin Khan, Mudassar Nazar, Shaun Pollock, Heath Streak, Wasim Akram and Guy Whittall. Jpeeling 15:20, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They all have a run total of over 4000? Kezzt
No. Clue: they're the top 7 in a certain 'record', Wasim Akram is top. --Jpeeling 14:12, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Highest number of runs at batting position 8. Kezzt
No, Andrew Jones never batted at 8. Another clue: this is a ODI batting record --Jpeeling 14:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
None of them made a century in ODI, but all have Test centuries. How about the players with the highest Test scores that didn't score a century in any ODI they played? (Although Pollock only has a HS of 111 in Tests so that probably isn't right) --Roberry 15:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Another thought - how about the highest total run scorers in ODI without a ODI century?--Roberry 15:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's the one, they've all scored 2500 runs in ODI cricket without a century. Graham Thorpe (2380) just missed out, Habibul Bashar (2168) and Michael Vaughan (1982) are working their way up. In Test cricket the leader is Shane Warne with Chaminda Vaas in second. [15] Over to Roberry. --Jpeeling 15:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q480 edit

Which players complete this series?

Tom Kendall, Fred Spofforth, Billy Bates, ???, Johnny Briggs, ???, ???, ??? --Roberry 20:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't fit exactly, but is it the successive record holders for best bowling in an innings? Kendall 7/55, Spofforth 7/46 7/44, Bates 7/28, Lohmann 8/35, Briggs 8/11, Lohmann 8/7 9/28, Laker 10/53. Ignoring Spofforth improving it twice in the same match makes it work, or have I just found an almighty near-coincidence? --Travisbasevi 22:01, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As an afterthought, I guess "after each Test" would make it work, otherwise the first three would be Shaw, Midwinter, Shaw before we can then start with Kendall in the 4th innings of the first ever Test. --Travisbasevi 22:11, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct - best innings bowling at conclusion of matches. Interestingly, although Lohmann improved the record 3 times he never held the best match bowling performance. Next question is yours.--Roberry 23:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
