Is it the Benaud family?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Is this still the question about the wicketkeeper and sub wicketkeeper?
The original question poser should be collating all the questions and answers as we go along. It's like dropping in on the Dead Poets Society if you miss a day.

 

[Captain Cricket]

Yeah can you remind us of the question Engle?

Clues :

5. He shares a fast scoring batting record with some select few
6. The select few are Macartney, Trumper and Bradman

[The Sean]

Pretty sure Macartney, Trumper and Bradman are three of the four men to have scored a hundred before lunch on the first day of a Test. The fourth to my knowledge is Majid Khan, so I'd say him as the answer.

I don't, unfortunately, have time to go trawling through his records for which match he achieved the feat in, so someone else will have to pick this up and run with it.

 

[James_W]

Sehwag scored a hundred before lunch did he not?

EDIT: Nevermind, 99*.

[Engle]

Finally, was starting to run out of clues

Majid Khan took over behind the stumps for the injured Wasim Bari and took 4 catches in the 2nd inngs against the WIndies in '77

http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/63188.html
shows the catches behind the stumps

 

[Captain Cricket]

Fair enough then.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Finally, was starting to run out of clues

These sort of more obscure questions that run on and on are the best sort. Something that can be googled in ten seconds is pointless.

 

[Captain Cricket]

New questions?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

New questions?

It's tapioca's turn, if he doesn't come up with anything soon someone else can jump in.
