Arnold?

Well done...you're up mate

btw Ray Illingworth, England's captain, grumbled about the spilled catches almost all day, until he dropped one himself and started talking about what a terrible "seeing ground" Old Trafford was for the fieldsmen.

But first....you have to enlighten us about 3 catches dropped in 3 balls....I've never heard of such a thing


Plus gives me time to figure out a question

Who are the only five Test players that have made 3000 runs, taken 100 wkts and 100 catches?

Aussie opener Keith Stackpole was dropped twice off successive balls from Geoff Arnold, by Tony Greig and John Snow in the slips. They pinched a single after the second drop, and the next ball was snicked by Bruce Francis to Snow, who dropped it again (some charitable observers thought it fell just short of him, but Wisden says he should have caught it).

Okay, you made me search and no, it doesn't answer your question but Akram did do 2 hat tricks in a row in March 1999 v Sri Lanka over two tests (3rd & 4th)
