Question: What do Shaun Pollock, Kapil Dev and John Bracewell have in common?

20 QUESTIONS
Question 1: SJS: An 'L' in their names? NO
Question 2: Deja Moo: A statistical similarity based on both batting and bowling? YES
Question 3: JASON: 1000 runs and 100 wickets? NO, not the answer I'm looking for
Question 3a: SJS: Is the similarity based on performance in test matches ? YES and NO, the similarity is related to test matches, but not limited to performance (bad answer so doesn't count as a question)
Question 4: SJS: Is it that All three have played more matches away than at home? NO
Question 5: Bryce: Is it to do with a performance or performances against a single country? NO
Question 6: SJS: Is the similarity a dubious distinction ? (not something to be proud of)? NO. As much as you love asking this, it is incorrect.
Question 7: SJS: Is it to do with playing away from home? NO
Question 8: Bryce: Is the statistical similarity to do with both runs and wickets ? YES

Jason,

I thought of that with Kapil and Pollock being the fastest in their respetive countries to do so in 25 and 26 tests respectively but not so Bracewell who took 41 tests(his last) to do this. Tells you anything ??

I am being a spoilsport but,

SJS, do you remember anything interesting about the way Kapil took his 100th wicket and scored his 1000th run ?

Thanks Tapoica :p (that was sarcasm if you didn't notice). I don't think he'll get it with that clue though

I got it first. See two posts above Jason's ! I was hesitant because I didn't want to get stuck answering an SJS question.

William Morris Hughes was the Australian PM from 1916 to 1922 (or so). Which future Test cricketer was named after him ?


[Closes the eye and listens for the sound of Jason hitting that question out of the ground]
