New Zealand beat Sri Lanka by 423 runs substantially improving on their previous best of 254 against Zimbabwe.

State Captain
Mitch Marsh (31) has now played more Tests than Michael Bevan (18), Brad Hodge (6), Martin Love (5) & Stuart Law (1) combined. Shame the Jamies didnt get a go (Siddons & Cox) or you could add them to this list.

Talk about persisting with mediocrity!

Meh, Botham did that all in the same Test. #celebratingextremelyobscureandnotparticularlynotableachievments
So how is this for obscure, Cummins only the 3rd Australian to make 80 runs and take 9 wkts in a Test. Alan Davidson and Richie Benaud only ones above him

Still sounds like a randomly concocted stat to force a point tbh

Does anyone know the highest ever career batting averages in the Currie Cup/Sunfoil Series? Cricinfo only gives year by year stats and I can't find the overall stats anywhere.

Japrit Bumrah becomes the 2nd Asian and 1st Indian to claim a 5 wkt haul in AUS, SA and ENG. Mohammed Asif was the first Asian to do so. Amir can be 3rd if takes 5 wkts haul in SA.

Similarly Ashley Giles is the only non-Asian spinner to take 5 wkt haul in IND, PAK and SL ( Since 1990s).

This is really surprising.. did none of Wasim, Waqar, Murali, Kumble, etc. ever pick up a 5er in all 3 countries?

It is overall . You can check but from my memory Wasim- SA, Waqar-AUS, Kumble-Eng, Murali- Aus ( they didn't take 5 wkts haul )

I checked. Wasim didn't in SA (only 2 tests), Waqar and Murali didn't in Australia, Kumble didn't in England and Imran never played against SA.

Yeah the stat loses some of its meaning because Imran, Kapil, and all the pre-90s guys are automatically disqualified having never played SA. I guess you could sub in WI for SA for pre-90s bowlers and that list would get much bigger.

EDIT : Actually Kapil did play in SA in '92. Scored a blazing ton also IIRC.

Imran did play against South Africa, but only in an ODI at the Gabba in the 1992 World Cup. Rain affected game, was somewhat controversial regarding the adjusted run chase iirc
