is it wickets falling with the score at 0?
CORRECT !!
:clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:
In May 1872, MCC playing against Surrey at Lord's lost their first seven wickets by the 36th delivery and hzd not yet posted a single run on board !!

MCC included stalwarts like WG and Alfred Shaw. They were bowled out for 16 with eight batsmen being unable to open their accounts !!!

Your turn.

We are still awaiting 'The Baconator' to post his question !!

I have noticed that the questions in this thread are not always in the SJS format !! :) :)

I guess it doesn't matter as long as we have the thread moving and intermittently some one can post a question in the SJS format, if they can stay on line to see that question answered to the end or keep checking over next few days till its answered completely !! :happy: :happy:

Triple centurians?

Two or more double centuries in the same series.
Bradman (4 times), Hammond(2), Viv Richards, Graeme Smith, Ponting, Turner, Greenidge and Vinoo Mankad are the eight batsmen who between them have done it a total of twelve times.
