Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[Tapioca]

Mushtaq Ali - 1936 & 1948/9.

The longest gap between two successive hundreds is Warren Bardsley - 1912 and 1926.

Good work and it is Mushtaq Ali, there were 12 years and five months between his 112 at Old Trafford in July 1936 (India's first Test century overseas) and 106 against West Indies at Calcutta in January 1949.

Now it is your turn,

I hope I haven't asked this before.

In http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1960S/1964-65/ENG_IN_RSA/ENG_RSA_T4_22-27JAN1965.html Trevor Goddard became the first batsman to do something, a first that is usually attributed, incorrectly, to an Indian cricketer. What feat and who is the Indian ?

Anything to do with the 3 sixes or the run out?

 

[Jamee999]

Was he run out backing up?

 

[Tapioca]

no & no. Something to do with reaching a landmark....

62 Test innings to score a Test hundred?

 

[Tapioca]

No. I am sure that there are quite a few people who took more innings. Besides, the question was about Goddard becoming the first man to something.

 

[ir0n desi]

This is just a wild guess but the first Opening Captain to score a century and a 50 in the same match?

 

[Tapioca]

No.

Hint - Shane Warne is in the small list of players who have done the same.

 

[ir0n desi]

Is his bowling involved?

 

[Tapioca]

no

 

[archie mac]

2000 Test runs without a Test Ton?

 

[tadeusz]

First player (although briefly) to pass 2000 test runs without a century?
Was the Indian Chetan Chauhan?

If I am right (which would be a shock) than you have just solved the 2nd half of the Q, and deserve to go next

 

[Tapioca]

2000 runs without a century and Chauhan are the answers.

Since archie is willing to give the chance to tadeusz, he can ask the next one.

Tadeusz, make it hard one please, otherwise Tapi and SJS.........

 

[tadeusz]

My first Test wicket cost someone a potential record.
Who am I?

Quick guess, Brown of NZ, stopped Hadlee taking all ten wickets?

 

[tadeusz]

Yeah, couldn't think of a hard one, so I made it too easy.
