Verity

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Just FYI, Verity got Bradman & McCabe.....twice.

With Wally Hammond bowling from the other end on a sticky.

He had to get wickets.

As opposed to having Arshad Ayub bowling from the other end on a track that obviously helped seamers so much that Kapil bowled a grand total of 11 overs in both innings combined?

It is close, and as much as I like and admire what Hirwani did on debut, but it has to be Verity

Ooh, this is a tough one. Verity gets it for dismissing Bradman twice.

I'll go Massie. Pretty solid batting line up we had there with Illingworth coming in at 8.

 

[aussie]

both superb efforts, but i'll give it to Massie because England Batting was better than India's.

India had Kapil coming in at 8, and Madan Lal was a pretty decent player for a number 9.

Imran for me

Imran Khan takes his 200th wicket in his 45th Test, becoming the first Pakistani to do so. He took 5 for 3 in his last 25 balls, completing Pakistan's best innings analysis against India.

Imran easily.
