Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[JASON]

Sorry, it's Murdoch, Jarvis, and CTB Turner, not Vernon

It Was Billy Murdoch , Affie Jarvis and Charlie Turner !! Well done to your book!!

 

[JASON]

What was Viv Richards the first (and to my knowledge the only) person to achieve in an ODI?

Century or was it 50 and 5 wickets in an ODI ?

 

[Burpey]

You got it ... I thought you were gone

 

[SJS]

Century or was it 50 and 5 wickets in an ODI ?

I was going to say only player with two scores above 175 in ODI's.

 

[JASON]

Hope Somerset wouldn't mind posting a question !! (Since he owes one ) Otherwise I will post tomorrow !!

Sure, I'll dig one out.

I happened to know that answer too, it was mentioned in the New Zealand vs Australia thread just recently...

 

[Somerset]

Lou Vincent was run out in the 2nd round match in Dambulla when New Zealand played Sri Lanka in a tri series also involving Pakistan in 2004. What was remarkable about this?

 

[Burpey]

he was out for 13???

 

[Somerset]

he was out for 13???

No. Good guess though.

 

[Burpey]

u sure the year was 2004, not 2003?

 

[Somerset]

u sure the year was 2004, not 2003?

Erm...yes I think you're right, 2003, my apologies.

So the question again:
Lou Vincent was run out - big hint - in the 2nd round match in Dambulla when New Zealand played Sri Lanka in a tri series also involving Pakistan in 2003. What was remarkable about this?

 

[Burpey]

only time he's been run out in his career?

 

[biased indian]

u sure the year was 2004, not 2003?

i was also wondering about the same !!!

 

[Somerset]

only time he's been run out in his career?

Near enough. It was the first time in 147 matches, or 170 innings, including test matches, ODIs, first class games and List-A one day games, that Lou Vincent had been run out in his career.

Ironically, he was also run out in the final.

 

[Somerset]

i was also wondering about the same !!!

Yeah my mistake, sorry about the confusion there!

 

[Burpey]

my turn

Walter Hammond and Richard Hadlee are the only players to achieve this feat twice. What is it?

Burkey , this looks more like a question in the new cricket trivia format and posibly more suited to that thread !!
Because it looks like a tough one to crack.

Clues are probably what may help unravel this one !! ( I will not accuse you of killing the thread with a toughie, like you did to me a couple of days ago !! )

Fair enough, Jase. I thought this was of cricket guru difficulty (or easiness).

Here's a clue. It should make it pretty easy I should think.

It has to do with ending a match.

Hitting a six to win the match ?
