Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[SJS]

For SJS - here's the extract from Wisden obituary on Monty Noble -

"Noble again was the best all-rounder in the second team captained by Joe Darling. During this 1902 tour he made his highest score in England — 284 at Hove against Sussex, he and Warwick Armstrong putting on 428, then a world record, for the sixth wicket. He stood out among his colleagues with 1,416 runs, average 32.93, next to Victor Trumper, and 98 wickets at less than 20 runs apiece, Hugh Trumble and J. V. Saunders being more effective with the ball. That was the tour in which Australia became sure of the rubber by a three runs victory at Old Trafford, while England in an equally dramatic finish won by one wicket at The Oval.

Three years later Darling lost the toss to F. S. Jackson, now Sir Stanley, in all five Tests, and England carried off the honours with two victories in the only decisive games."

Thanks Jason.

Did he get it for his cricket ? The knighthood that is ?

 

[JASON]

2 hat-tricks on the same day you mean !

 

[JASON]

Thanks Jason.

Unsure ! But can't see why not , cos Warner got his and Jackson achieved most things just as Warner !!

 

[SJS]

1st Hat trick

S J Pegler (lbw)
T A Ward (lbw)

Unsure ! But can't see why not , cos Warner got his and Jackson achieved most things just as Warner !!

But Warner got it in 1937.

I suspect, though I am not sure, Jackson inherited his knighthood. His father too was addressed as Rt. Hon. Jackson.

What was Archie Maclaren's unique achievement . A record for an England batsman.

 

[Burpey]

424 for Lancashire against Somerset at Taunton in 1895?

 

[SJS]

424 for Lancashire against Somerset at Taunton in 1895?

1. First quadruple century in all first class cricket.
2. The highest first class score for an Englishman (not a player playing in England) ever. It has already stood for 110 years !!

Well done. your turn .

A ODI first that belongs to Peter Kirsten of SA. What is it?

 

[SJS]

A ODI first that belongs to Peter Kirsten of SA. What is it?

Does it have to do with his batting ?

If yes, does it have to do with the fact that he never got a hundred ?

A ODI first that belongs to Peter Kirsten of SA. What is it?

He was Mankaded by kapil dev ,first and only (if i am correct) batsmen to be out this way in ODI

 

[Burpey]

If yes, does it have to do with the fact that he never got a hundred ?

Sort of ... but nothing to do with the fact that he never got a hundred

 

[Burpey]

He was Mankaded by kapil dev ,first and only (if i am correct) batsmen to be out this way in ODI

What I am looking for is related to the mankad

 

[biased indian]

What I am looking for is related to the mankad

???

 

[Burpey]

Well, the ODI first I am looking for is related to the Mankad in some way (it just so happens the Mankad could also be an ODI first, I am not sure)

 

[Burpey]

Good night guys ... will answer questions in the morning

 

[biased indian]

first player to reach 1000 in ODI with out a hundred

 

[The Baconator]

Is it some sort of most run outs record?

 

[Burpey]

first player to reach 1000 in ODI with out a hundred

No

Is it some sort of most run outs record?

No

BI, you are way off track. The ODI first is related to the Mankad. I will give more clues later if you need them.
