Andy Ducat.

Andy Ducat.

What was bizzare about his dismissal on his debut innings ?

 

[Dasa]

What was bizzare about his dismissal on his debut innings ?

From CricInfo:

Honoured with the distinguished place of number four, Ducat still found himself dogged by ill-luck, for, in playing McDonald, the shoulder of his bat was broken and the ball went to the slips, where Gregory held the catch, while the splinter of wood fell on the stumps, shaking off a bail. So Ducat was doubly out. Carter, the Australian wicket-keeper, handed to Ducat the piece of wood--a souvenir which could not compensate the batsman for such an unfortunate dismissal; and he stumped Ducat in the second innings!

Trivia veterans like me get to do whatever we want.


Seriously though, I'm sure Archie doesn't mind me stepping in. It's good to keep things flowing. If he really cares, he can take my turn next time I get one right.

Like that's ever going to happen








Just kidding I don't mind

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I think Burkey's gone into hibernation so hasn't verified my answer but I know it's right so I'll chuck in a quickie.


What was unusual about the following dismissal in 1974?(NB the number of runs doesn't matter)

Madan Lal b Hendrick

Is he the only player to take a wicket with his third ball in Test cricket?

As a statement of fact, I don't know if he is or not.
As an answer to the question - no.
