Did Dad score the 500th Test century?

 

[Pratters]

I think it might have some thing to do with the No.of the century for India.

 

[JASON]

Did Dad score the 500th Test century?

Q16 Did Dad score the 500th Test Century ? No, not the 500th Test Century .

Do I detect Archie shrewdly trying to avoid answering question correctly to evade having to ask next question.

Correct .

 

[SJS]

Lala's was the first and Surinder's the 100th century for India

 

[JASON]

Lala's was the first and Surinder's the 100th century for India

Not Surinder, But Jimmy(Mohinder)'s was .

I am going to give it to all three combined , and one of you can post next question.

Yes I was wondering how because Surinders was the 90th 100 for India. I think we got (or at least I got led away by the earlier reference to Surinder and totally ignored Mohinder.

 

[SJS]

It was Mohinders 1st century but not on debut like Surinder and was at WACA in Dec 1977.

Thread dying from lack of questions.

Question

This relates to great sportsmanship by a Captain - who appealed to the umpire to reverse a decision (given out) given against an opposition player in a Test Match . Who was this Captain ?

 

[Tapioca]

Mushtaq Mohammad, Pakistan v Australia 1979/80. Quoting from 1980 Wisden

In Melbourne, Hogg was run out by Miandad, who moved from silly point to break the wicket after the batsman, having played a defensive stroke a short distance down the wicket, left his crease to inspect the wicket. Although Hogg was recalled by Mushtaq, umpire Harvey confirmed his earlier decision. Hogg promptly struck down the stumps leaving the wicket.
