[fredfertang]

Having thought about that the answer must be no but I perhaps ought to add that it is very possibly a record they don't realise they have

No

 

[zaremba]

No it doesn't

Time for a clue I think

Just to clarify the question Botham and Atherton are in joint second on this one

Some bugger called Strauss appears to have nipped into the lead in the course of the summer just passed and caught me out

 

[zaremba]

Cevno, let's focus our thoughts on this rather than the monkey business elsewhere

Fred, we need another clue please

 

[fredfertang]

Botham and Atherton 77

Strauss is now on 80 something - i'll check

 

[fredfertang]

Strauss is 83 and counting so once more and he'll go past the world record holder who is Rohan Kanhai - it's almost inevitable as an opener that he will succeed

If you cant get it from that then you've both been giving it too much

 

[zaremba]

Consecutive Test innings in which he has been dismissed?

[zaremba]

Without the last clue I would never have got that.

OK give me a minute and I'll get another one together. Hopefully fred you won't crack it as quickly as you got my devilish St Lawrence Lime question some time ago.

This event happened in 1956 and it is pretty much certain never to be repeated. What was it?

 

[Cevno]

Nice stat that.The last clue about openers i think made it a bit narrower.Though was thinking the answer was a bit easier.
But would that not be a record they would rather not have?

I wondered about that too. But I suppose you've got to be picked for a lot of Test matches to break that record.

Does it have to do with a particular team?

I guess you are right.Fair enough.

 

[fredfertang]

I think I'll duck out of this one - was a Manchester City footballer in a leading role?

 

[zaremba]

Does it have to do with a particular team?

Yes - The occurrence related to one particular team.
