Is it that it was Lamberts debut test in August 1991 and that after these two dismissals he didn't play Test cricket again until March 1998?Lillian Thomson said:

Is the significance significant to other cases as well? (Does that even make sense?)

(Does that make sense?)Here's a clue. The fate that befell Lambert was fairly rare but by no means unique, it was the fact that it was his debut that made it more significant - though again it was not totally unique.

Just to summarise, original question was:
What is the significance of these two dismissals?
CB Lambert c Ramprakash b Tufnell
CB Lambert lbw b Botham
Q1) Is Lamberts debut significant? Yes (but it's not the whole answer).
Q2) England won that test. Is that significant? No
Q3) Is the significance related to all three of Lambert, Botham & Tuffers only? No
Q4 Is it that it was Lamberts debut test in August 1991 and that after these two dismissals he didn't play Test cricket again until March 1998? No
Q5) Is the significance significant to other cases as well? (Does that even make sense?) Yes and no. (Does that make sense?)
Here's a clue. The fate that befell Lambert was fairly rare but by no means unique, it was the fact that it was his debut that made it more significant - though again it was not totally unique.
Q6) Anything to do with the specific ground? No
Q7) Also, something to do with the bowlers dismissing Lambert? No
Q8) Was it anything to do with his American nationality? No

For another clue, consider how far the West Indies were behind on after their First Innings.

Okay, He played a stupid shot that triggered a collapse of 7-18 (from 3-158 to 176 all out), which was 243 runs behind?????? But in his 2nd Innings...???????
Bah, the curses of being an Engineer where you need stats and logic to survive

No, the manner of his dismissal doesn't matter.
Yes they were 243 runs behind which is significant.

Yes, that's the second part of the answer. The full answer being that it was his Test Debut and he was out twice in the same day. The follow-on being significant because without it he wouldn't have batted twice on that day. For a long time it looked like this would be his only Test but he was recalled several years later when he and Philo Wallace slogged Caddick and Co all over the place.

Okay a nice easy one, to tide us over.
Why can't Gilly be on this list? (I know there are lots of reasons but there is one I am looking for)
Blackham, Murdoch, Wayne Phillips

Q2) Is it the fact Gilly has never played purely as a Batsman in a Test, while the other three have?
