considering previously you said "almost immediately" i'll take that as "the first of monty's ashes wickets" when remembering that you established his debut time earlier in the thread

149. Apparently people other than Allan Border scored tons in the 1980s, which I didn't know about. I probably should have got Broad, missed Stewart at the MCG as well, which was the more recent one I missed. Forgot about the likes of Blewit, Boon and Gatting.
How could you forget Boonie? Fmd. Nufan to comment

I'm not such a sad man that I'm going to the research to find out the answer, but I am sad enough to have worked out the question, which is that there can't be many Test sides that have had an average number of letters per surname that is lower than the current England side - put in Roy and Finn for Ballance and Anderson and I reckon that would have to be a record

Must already be a record. Hales is maybe a more likely option to replace Ballance, which still helps. That only leaves the keeper, so maybe an unexpected recall for Read?

I scored 179 for the Ashes 100s. From the 1990-91 series I missed out on just the 1 - Simon Katich.

some of the tests featuring the Waugh twins would be in with a shout, with teammates like Boon, Warne and Border. McDermott a worry though.

Panesar got Lee LBW for his 5fer. So I'd assume it went
Langer b Panesar
Symonds ct Jones nearly dropped
Gilchrist ct bat pad (Cook?)
Warne ct
Lee lbw

you got his perth 5fer perfectly for its order but it wasn't Cook who caught Gilchrist and Warne doesn't have a catcher yet. well done though on the rest.

Warne was stumped by Read off Panesar at Sydney.
yes this is true

Hayden was caught at slip (probably Colly) 2nd innings Perth. So that would be 6. Guess Warne is 11 or something. Was followed up by Ponting getting bowled at Cardiff in 09 anyway, so if we can get one, we've got both.

Pretty sure he took no wickets in Melbourne and 1 in Adelaide last time down under, which would make Warne and Ponting 12 and 13.
