Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

X was a double international for his country (Rugby and Cricket). He was involved in 2 controversial incidents in the last minutes of a game in both sports. While he helped his country win in the rugby match, he couldnt do the same in the cricket match. Who's X?

Brian McKechnie of NZ was on the receiving end of Trevor Chappell's underarm grubber that he needed to hit for 6 to win an ODI. I think he also played international rugby, but I couldn't tell you about the controversial incident in RU.

Correct!! (That was 6 to tie the match). The rugby incident was a controversial penalty awarded in the last minutes of a NZ-Wales test in '78

Your turn.

I've been sitting here for 2 minutes trying to figure out what that means, I still dont know, what is it?

 

[biased indian]

this two hold a unique record in test cricket even though its not a world record (as three other pair have matched them or bettered them)
their achivement has a uniquness name the players and the record??
clues will follow if needed

I somehow feel that you are referring to the two 300 stands RSD and VVSL have against Australia though only two other pairs - Gibbs/Smith, Bradman/Ponsford - have 'bettered or equalled them'
