Yes, 388 for 4th wicket, was/is that a record ?

Q17 The record is most byes as already established !! Who holds the record and what were the cicumstances that lead to the record coming into being ?

 

[membersstand]

GOTCHA! only 6 wicket-takers in the match ?

 

[Ferd]

5th Test, 37 Byes conceded in 1 innings because Ames injured himself batting. I would say Hammond was keeping at the time

 

[Ferd]

Hammond bowled so he probably didnt keep. Perhaps Woolley was behind the stumps?

 

[SJS]

Q15 Is it the most byes in a Test Match , Eng v Aus 1934 ? Yes . Well done Membersstand !!

Who holds the record ? What are the circumstancs that resulted in the record being achieved in this game ?

In Aus's 2nd inings of the 5th test there were 37 byes. Ames was the keeper. Maybe he was injured and Woolley was asked to keep wickets since he had kept before. I think so but am not to sure.

Q 18 No .Circumstances are correct .

Ames was injured.

The Substitute keeper was Frank Woolley at 47 years of age was surely the oldest Wicket keeper (where the position requires great degree of agility ) in the history of Test Cricket .
