Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[SJS]

*brings the thread back to the main page*

Well it also brings me back in the frame

I post a question, which is not vague by any standards. It is prety interesting I think. It may require some research but so what and yet no one attempts ???

Here it is again...

Which is the only instance of all 22 players bowling in a first class cricket match !!

 

[Jamee999]

Any clues?

 

[Somerset]

Hmmm...interesting question. WIll definitely take some research but some clues might be handy. *hint*

 

[JASON]

*wonders if this is SJS's attempt to sabotage this thread (and put it eternally out of the main page)*

 

[SJS]

I honestly feel this is a very interesting question. But if you suspect my motives please go ahead and post a question yourself as has been done earlier

*sulks in his corner*

I doubt he was questioning your motives man.

We are trying to find the answer by every means, hook/crook but are not able to. Perhaps a hint would give some sort of respite.

Or maybe not. You are the C Guru for the moment so you decide.

Its a very interesting question.

I guess some one should write an email to Steven Lynch and see whether he is also stumped by SJS

I am not upset Pratyush just pretending to be. I suppose i am getting a reputation for being a touchy old man. Better be careful

 

[SJS]

I know only three things about the match.
- The two teams
- the year and
- the venue.

I have given away one.

 

[Pratters]

Search for the exact score card of the match on www.cricketarchive.com if/when you have time. I know you wont give more hints for the time being but might as well know more about the historic match about which you will tell us 10-12 years later

I realise now its a tough one since I cant find it anywhere except the book in which I find it. A very authentic source I hasten to add.

Okay here is another hint.

It was a light heaqrted festival game but accorded first class status !!

 

[Pratters]

Number of grounds with the name Hastings : 6

Central recreation grounds, Hastings
Cornwall Park, Hastings
Horntye Park, Hastings
Nelson Cricket Ground, Hastings
Priory Meadow, Hastings
RM Hooper Oval, Hastings

YIKES the plot thickens

Since the last one backfired here is another.

Which is the only instance of ten different fielders taking ten catches in a single first class innings !!!

Lucky Eddie already asked this question albeit a bit differently asking what was unique about this specific match giving the score card on 26/7/2004. Swervy was able to get it right in the specific instance. I wouldnt claim the title as it is a question already asked.

Cheers.

Ok. Here is another attempt

Whats the maximum number of fities in a first class innings and when was this done ??

 

[Burpey]

There were 8 scores of fifty or more in one of the Australian innings in the following match: Australians v Oxford & Cambridge Universities at Portsmouth, 1893

However, this includes centuries (I think). If this is wrong, do you mean most scores between 50 and 99 in a first class innings?
