New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

[biased indian]

Extremely sorry for the long delay.
As the thread changed focus and started drifting i forgot about giving the answer to my unsolved question-

What connects Javed Miandad,Sunil Gavaskar,Bruce Edgar?

The answer to this question was that these three are the only three players in the history of international cricket too-

Have faced more than 160 balls individually and too have scored less than 100 runs while remaining not out in a single ODI innings.

Talk about extremely slow and selfish batting.

did all three lost their match .other wise i wont say its selfish...gavaskar lost i know

 

[susudear]

Yes and No

did all there lost their match .other wise i wont say its selfish...gavaskar lost i know

Javed Miandad's 167 ball 67 meant Pakistan scored only 140 in their 50 overs.

Bruce Edgar's innings, though was matchwinning. Interesting to note Gavaskar made a 144 ball 55 in that match in the first innings.

I'll have one last go at reviving interest in this thread :-

I played in one test match for which I was selected as a pace bowler. My side lost the match which went the full distance, all 40 wickets falling. Unfortunately I took none of those wickets and contributed no runs in either innings. I do however have a more memorable achievement from my first class career but that is a batting achievement. Who am I and what is the batting achievement?

 

[zaremba]

Was your first class career in (or primarily in) England?

No

 

[Cevno]

[fredfertang]

No

 

[Goughy]

I will not guess as Ive done some looking around and Ive hit a likely candidate. Appears an interesting story I can honestly say I knew nothing about.

 

[NUFAN]

Has the person in question passed on now?

 

[fredfertang]

Yes

Hopefully you still remember the answer Fred, is it Len Tuckett?

Played in only one test, scored no runs (0 and 0*) and was a pace bowler who picked up no wickets in that test (overall figures of 0/69). All 40 wickets fell in the match.

Tuckett's batting achievement was that he shared three figure partnerships for the last wicket in each innings of a South African first class match.

Perfect reply - I reckon you've been practising!

Haha - wonder where you'd get that idea from.

I'll put another question up shortly.

 

[Somerset]

In the late 1990s, together we achieved a feat for the first (and as far as I can tell, only) time. Who are we and what was our achievement?

 

[fredfertang]

If not are we talking about 11 of you?

Are the 2 players related to each other?
