Yes that is the full story, well done Tapi

But I think Honestbharani had the main answer first, and it would be good to see some new blood on here, so we will let him fire off the next qestion

 

[honestbharani]

Well, I am just throwing one out off the top of my head..... Who was the last person to open both batting and bowling for India in the same test match?



I am sorry if this is too easy. I just don't have a better one right now.


When I say OPEN, I mean bowling the first ball and facing the first ball when batting.

This condition will rule out Bangar and Siddiqui

 

[honestbharani]

And Pathan.

 

[JASON]

Manoj Prabhakar ?

 

[alternative]

I seen Ganguly bowling first up, but not sure if he has opened the bowling..

 

[TIF]

The last person was Manoj Prabhakar and he last did it in the 3rd test against New Zealand in the 1994/95 series at Cuttack.

 

[honestbharani]

Jason got it first. You go, Jason. I am amazed it took a day or two.

 

[JASON]

Thanks Honestbharani. I actually passed it for a while hoping someone else might answer it.

Question
