I'm thinking of an Australian fast bowler with a very interesting (and very good) record. Name the bowler and the record.
Q1: JASON: Alan Davidson first to score 100 runs (in a test match both innings combined!! ) and take 10 wickets? NO
Q2: JASON: Geoff Dymock - dismissing all eleven batsmen in a Test after Laker in 1956, and Venkat in 1964-5. NO
Q3: JASON: TJ Matthews 2 hat tricks in same day. NO
Q4: SJS: CB Turner for far taking 101 wickets in only 17 tests. NO
You'll never get it like this - try to narrow it down first (and as Dan pointed out you should now be out of it
)
