Question:
Name the two batsmen who scored double hundreds in the first innings of a match and yet ended up on the losing team,having lost by 10 wickets?

Clue: it has happened in the last 25 years

Geoffrey Humpage and Alvin Kallicharran for Warwicks against Lancashire in 1982. For Lancs, Fowler scored hundreds in both innings, batting with an injured leg and a runner.


Had Humpage been Sri Lankan, they would have pronounced his name as Humpagay.

I think he meant a 200+ score in 1st inns and yet his team lost by 10 wkts
Correct me if I am wrong..

One of these was Lara vs SL (in SL 2001).
Dunno abt other atm..

 

[marc71178]

I read it as 2 doubles in the same innings - imagine plenty of players have scored doubles and their team lose by 10 wickets.

I knew it was Warwickshire Lancashire, but couldn't remember the year or batsmen.

Southport I believe.

correctamondo..both Humpage and Kallicharan scored double hundreds in Warks first innings (523-4dec),Lancs then declared at 414-6,then Warks were all out for 111 and Lancs won by scoring 226 for no loss of wicket....all this in a 3 day game

Interesting fact...Warks were all out for Nelson (111) on a ground called Trafalgar Road in Southport Lancs

There is something interesting about the scorecard which you can spot if you look really closely, which has happened only once in first class cricket.

erm...how about all 36 wickets in the match were shared by only 5 bowlers!!!

other than that I dont know, will keep looking....

how about 2 people taking 7-75

>> how about 2 people taking 7-75

No, that wouldn't be good enough to qualify for 'unique' or 'interesting'
