One of the ATG performances on the wrong side of a hammering.Also, Rodney Hogg's 41 wickets in 1978 Ashes have to be up there.
52 wasn't it?Boonie's 48 cans on the way to the 89 Ashes takes this.
This is not really the main point of the thread here but still worth mentioning a counter point here. I remember reading somewhere that in cricket it's always bowler's serve. Hence all the restrictions and controls on bowlers to address this fundamental 'unfairness' to batsman. Come to think of it, this makes lot of sense.About the only thing in cricket that isn't.
Am I the only who remembers the halcyon days of Richard who when reading that thought of his immortal line "The batsman cannot be too good for the bowler."This is not really the main point of the thread here but still worth mentioning a counter point here.

Interesting, but Herbert Sutcliffe never bowled in Test cricket. I think Rahul Dravid's series in England that Kirkut identified should probably be in there.An XI who performed heroically while their side was getting thrashed - all were playing for a side that lost the series 3-0, 4-1 or (in Hogg's case) 5-1.

lol how **** must the rest of the team played if a guy took 41 wickets at an average of 12 and still lost 5-1An XI who performed heroically while their side was getting thrashed - all were playing for a side that lost the series 3-0, 4-1 or (in Hogg's case) 5-1.

Aus' batting was the problem, having lost so many batsmen to WSC. Combined with having them face one of England's best attacks since I've been watching the game.(re. Hogg) lol how **** must the rest of the team played if a guy took 41 wickets at an average of 12 and still lost 5-1
