New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

[SJS]

Catches from Glen McGrath's bowling?

Thats correct. Actually, Waugh and Warne have the most catches (34 and 30) off the bowling of a pace bowler by any fielder (not a keeper). Ponting's 23 catches off McGrath take the total to 84. A fabulous record. Very tough to emulate.

Fred Stocks who played for Notts after WW2 has a remarkable claim to fame which I believe is unique - what is it?

 

[Tapioca]

Fred : Can you check Kim Hughes' stats, please. I think he too did this

 

[fredfertang]

I am not too good at finding my way round anything other than a real paper Wisden Cricketer's Almanack which I don't have access to at the moment but from my limited grasp of cricketarchive what I see is entirely consistent with Kim Hughes having done the same as Fred Stocks

Is it something to do with controversial incidents involving Australia? Edgar was at the non-striking end during the under-arm incident, of course Javed went at it with Lillee, and Gavaskar was involved, though not as a player, with Border-Ponting.

I would hope it's something rather more unique to the three than that.

 

[fredfertang]

So back to basics - is it to do with batting?

Ok a hint-

There are three parts to this link-

The first part has been achieved by over 20 players.
The second link when combined with the first reduces it too 5 to 8 players.
When we combine the third link ,with the first and second it reduces down to these threee.

[fredfertang]

Is it concerned with low scoring?

 

[Cevno]

Is it concerned with low scoring? In a way yes.
Not neccessarily in absolute terms but certainly in relative terms.

Not neccessarily in absolute terms but certainly in relative terms.

Relative to their own career performances?
Relative to their team-mates?
Relative to the opposition?
