    Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

    Checking up on 5-Test series, the last 14 (2009 Ashes onwards) have all been England v Australia/India; it's over 20 years since a 5-Test series not involving England, and the last 7 of those (from 1992 to 2002) all involved the West Indies. New Zealand haven't played a 5-Test series since...

    Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

    There were 4 in Aus in the 70s (3 v Eng, 1 v WI); 6 involving India (5 with various teams touring India, 1 in Pakistan) in a short spell around 1980; and 6 in England in the 80s and 90s (5 v Aus, 1 v WI). Technically there's also England's tour of the WI in 1998, but one of those was a...

    The award dates back to 1950: Brian Taylor (1956), Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie (1958), John Whitehouse (1971), Dudley Owen-Thomas (1972), Andrew Kennedy (1975) and Ashley Metcalfe (1987) also never played any Tests (or ODIs).

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    I thought Frank Tarrant might be an interesting case, with Victoria, Middlesex and the Europeans in the Indian Quadrangular Trophy, but in fact Middlesex were never champions in the decade he played for them.

    Barry Richards won with Hampshire, South Australia and Natal. I think Alvin Kallicharran did with Warwickshire, Guyana and Transvaal.

    His fault, really - he ran out the #11 (Pud Thurlow, in his only Test - as well as being run out for 0 he didn't take a wicket or a catch).

    Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

    Could happen, but I remember when Graeme Smith scored 621 in the first 2 Tests in 2003 and it was suggested that he'd break the series record: and he scored 93 runs across the last 3 Tests.

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    It hadn't happened in first-class cricket until 1989 (WV Raman and Arjan Kripal Singh for Tamil Nadu v Goa). AFAIK it hasn't happened since then.

    Sadiq's debut was Hanif's last Test, and Mushtaq was also in the side. (Wazir's last Test was about 10 years earlier - he and Mushtaq were once in the same side, but Hanif was injured - one of only two matches he missed during his Test career). WG, EM and GF Grace all played in the 1880 Oval...
