to play cricket .

 

[SJS]

Langer kept wickets in his first three odi's at Sharjah. Didnt do too badly with a catch off vSteve Waugh, a stumping off Warne and only one bye in three games !!!

This and his career strike rate of 89 in odi's makes him a competitor to Gilchrist

Fingleton's record of four consecutive hundreds(consecutive innings) in 1936, broken by Weekes 12 years later in 1948 which still stands, 56 years later.

Fingleton (alongwith Bradman) holds the test record for the 6th wicket partnership of 346 runs.

i just went to research to find out why i actually said that and found that in the west indies 1955-56 tour to nz weekes hit 940 runs in only eight first class games, knew there was something....

I thought you would say that NO. Thats too obvious. Its something else.

 

[bryce]

has it anything to do with mode of dismissal?
i see he has taken a higher number of 'lbws' and 'bowleds' than 'caught other' which is not common at all

 

[Dasa]

Does it have something to do with his Test economy rate?
