thats a decade after he made his debut isn't it?

Wasn't the 05 Ashes the first time Gilchrist got out LBW to a right-arm seamer, or something? I remember he had some sort of ridiculous thing like that.

He debuted in November 1999, so strictly speaking yes.

I'm going to give it to you. It was the first time in his test match career to that point that he was LBW to a seamer of any kind. He had only previously been LBW to spinners, so for six years was never LBW to a seam bowler.

[shrik]

[stumpski]

Is it performance related?

Not really, no.

Is it related to test match cricket???

It is.

Is it related to no of catches they took in a single match???

No.

I shall add a few more names by way of clues, though not the one that would, I think, give it away.

Jack Richards
Brian Lara
Michael Vaughan

 

[fredfertang]

Is it related to injuries?

 

[stumpski]

Not injuries, no.

 

[stumpski]

Incidentally the seven names I've given you were picked at random from a chronological sequence - in order, they were 4, 11, 13, 5, 8, 16 and 19.

 

[fredfertang]

If not injury how about absence for some other reason?

 

[stumpski]

No, they would have to have been there at the time. It relates to something that has only happened a few times in Test cricket (at least 19 though, obviously )

 

[Jarquis]

Anything to do with runs scored?

 

[stumpski]

No, they were the batsman on each occasion though.

A few more names:

Matthew Hoggard (18)
Jamie How (23)
Wasim Raja (3)

Numbers in brackets are their position in the sequence.

 

[fredfertang]

Is Bradman in the list?
