In 2008 at Dhaka vs SL, Shakib al hasan picked up 5-70 in the first innings including the wickets of Sangakkara, Mahela, Samaraweera and PJ to bowl SL out for less than 300 in the first innings. Also scored a 96 in the 4th innings vs Murali/Vaas to briefly give them hope of an impossible win.

yeah shakibs a monster. even if bangladesh put out a current indian standard side several times in the next century, it will take someone truly special to dislodge shakib from the allrounder position.

Other great ones:

Malcolm Marshall taking 5-29 off 31 overs in Sydney in 1988 on a spinner's wicket in which Allan Border took eleven wickets. No other pacer came close to this mastery.

Andrew Caddick's 7-94 against Australia in 2002, leading England to victory against an all-time great side.

Pat Symcox's 108 against an attack of Waqar, Shoaib, Saqlain and Mushtaq Ahmed at the Wanderers in 1998, saving SA when they were 166-8.

It was overshadowed by a 128 at #8 by Azhar Mahmood IIRC

Shakib is the most unedrrated all rounder.

State Regular
Alan Davidson's performance in the first tied Test is always seemingly overshadowed.

44+80, (his highest test score), 5-135+ 6-87, he bowled 54 over's in total.

Everyone talks of Solomon's two run out's & Hunte's throw from the boundary to run out Grout, but without Davidson's performance, we wouldn't have had that situation.

One other one.

Peter Burge's match series winning 160@Leeds in 1964. A very dull series with 4 draws.
Trailing England by 90 runs when the 7th wicket fell, Burge with the assistance of Hawke & Grout, who both made 37, added 211 for the last three wickets.
Australia led by 111, bowled England out for 229, and won by 7 wickets.

Matthew Hoggard at Adelaide. IIRC he took a seven-for on a pitch so flat Paul Collingwood had scored a double hundred on it. If Ashley Giles hadn't dropped Ponting at deep square leg, Australia would've been bowled out for under 300 and England would have won. Instead they panicked and collapsed to Shane Warne.

Collingwood's doubt ton is another worthy mention.

Little known Duleep Mendis scored tons in both innings to give SL their first ever test draw. It was against India in the early '80s

Everyone knows of Bradman's second ball duck in his final Test, but few talk about Arthur Morris's 196 in the same innings.

So overshadowed was Morris at Bradman's final Test that folks would ask him
" Where were you when Bradman made his 0 ? "
" I was at the other end " replied Morris
" Oh, did you make any ? "
" Yep, 196 "

Symcox got the man of the match award. It was mahmood however played the much better innings.

No, he was super lucky, got dropped 2-3 times and was just flaying about wildly.

His innings in the next test in Durban was one of the all-time great innings though.
