Yes I just noticed that.

First batsman to get 100 plus test runs in a calendar year with just ONE century ?

When he reached the 1000 in 1982 he hadn't scored a single hundred.

That MUST be it !!

Maybe thats what he meant about that confusing career thing. A player may score a thousand runs in a career and yet not score a century. Scores have done that though

I was just reading about Brown, and that fact stuck in my mind, for some reason, but I had to look up the other players name. So here is an easy one for you SJS

Whom or what was Wisdens referring to when it said "By doing away with XXXX cricket is in danger of losing (its) spirit ... " ?

In tests ?

 

[ramkumar_gr]

In tests ?

see it is like this. The gap between any two international hundreds (ODI or tests).

A batsman scores his first test hundred and his first ODI hundred will be his second international hundred and viceversa
or
gap between someone's 1st test hundred and 2nd test hundred
or
gap between someone's 1st ODI hundred and 2nd ODI hundred


It could be any of the above.

Hope i am not confusing you. It is the longest gap between any 2 international hundreds.

i have refined my conditions. see my earlier post.

Why Gavaskar is not the answer is because his first 2 test hundreds came in quick succession.
