Correct !! Isn't that amazing though nearly 4 lbw's in each innings !!

I suppose now with so much pressure on Umps and TV cameras watching and replaying every decision and computer reproduction of each delivery, the umps have mostly gone very conservative or have become reluctant to give LBW's unless its blatantly obvious !! (of course there are exceptions like Steve Buchnor among others !!)

I seriously cannot see this record being broken, unless a match is played in an unusual pitch with low bounce or some such anomaly like that !!

Over to you, for next question !! :xmas: :newyear: :santa:

I heard that Bradmen hit 44 (or 46, I dont remember exactly) sixes in his entire First class career, six out of which were in tests.

Not correct !!

The answer given by my Mate :) was given to him at a cricketers night function where Jeff Thompson, Dougie Walters and Len Pascoe had been present!! (or conducted the quiz and cricket chat after that!! So I assume his answer to be correct!! or perhaps not ? :blink: :D )

Any other guesses ? :) :)
