Sorry 2bornot2b, but here is another question from me:

Which two Indian batsmen were out to two Pakistani bowlers 6 times in succession in test matches between the two countries. Name the batsmen and the bowlers. Note these are two seperate instances, one bowler got one batsmen out 6 times in sucession and the second bowler got another batsmen out 6 times in sucession.

I was grade 9/10 I believe when our math teacher told us about how Akram made Srikant dance to his tunes.

If I recall correctly he said that Akram caught Srikant with a well-directed bouncer and gave him a good gash on his forehead. Srikanth had to get 4-5 stitches and he was never the same against Akram. They said Akram used to toy with Srikanth and dismissed him at will. 6 times in succession is a lot of dismissals on the trot.

That is great, but not the highest score. The highest is 75 scored in 1989-90 in Newzealand. And the funny thing is that the first ball was a dot ball too :slight_smile:

0444664614106666600401

Although to be fair, the runs were deliberately conceded by the fielding side.

Aah...The wonders of cricinfo.

It was Khan Mohammad 0/259 against Windies.
In the same innings, Sober scores 365 runs.

Here is another one.

Which bowler holds the record of taking 4 wickets in 4 balls in a one day international match. Name, the bowler, the opposition, and the batsman dismissed?

Hint: It was in the 90s.

in ODIs I believe it is Waqar. Pak played SA and SL. Waqar I think conceded 80+ runs in his ten overs. But to be fair to him, many catches were dropped off.

I think it was Pollock or Wasim. If it was Pollock it was against us. If Wasim, it was against the Windies.

But then this is a total fluke.

Yes - He has announced his retirement from ODIs but still available for TEST matches.

Only one person and that is Kirsten.
