State Vice-Captain

I'm thinking of a certain occurence that has happened only twice in test cricket, Once in the seventies and once in the last ten years. What is it?


ANSWER: CREDITED TO TASSIETIGER AND BOOKIE, FIRST TO POST NEXT QUESTION CAN CLAIM CREDIT
THE 77/78 AND 03/04 AUSTRALIA-INDIA SERIES WERE THE ONLY SERIES OF FOUR TESTS OR MORE IN AUSTRALIA IN WHICH THE HOME SIDE DID NOT TAKE A FIVE-WICKET HAUL. THE CLOSEST IN 03/04 WAS BRAD WILLIAMS WITH 4/53, WHILE FOUR BOWLERS MANAGED FOUR WICKETS IN 77/78. THE INDIANS, MEANWHILE, MANAGED SEVEN 5-FORS IN 77/78 AND FOUR IN 03/04.


Q1: Bookie: Handled the Ball? NO
Q2: tassietiger: Something to do with teams dominating the rest of the competition? NO
Q3: tassietiger: Double-bouncer? NO
Q3b: Bookie: Underarm ball? NO
Q4: Bookie: Is it mode of dismissal? NO
Q5: SJS: Is it to do with batting? NO
Q6: tassietiger: Is it to do with bowling? YES
Q7: Bookie: Is it a team record? NO, well it's not really a record at all...
Q8: tassietiger: Is it a bowler taking ten wickets in an innings? NO
Q9: tassietiger: A bowler bowling two consecutive overs? NO
Q10: Bookie: Is it an onfield record? It occured on the field, but again is not a record
Q11: Does it involve someone making a mistake? NO
Q12: Bookie: Was this feat by an individual? NO
Q13: tassietiger: Was the bowler Brad Williams? YES
Q14: Bookie: Has it got anything to do with getting a target under 100 runs? NO
Q15: tassietiger: Did it occur against India? YES
Q16: tassietiger: Making over 550 and following it up with a score under 200? NO
Q17: Tommo_365: does it involve extras? NO
Q18: Tommo_365: does it involve an injury? NO
Q19: tassietiger: Only one person taking a 5fer for a test series? NO but very close



CLUE #1: The Bookie Foundation clue for people with a disability: At least one of these occurences involves India
CLUE #2: The "Bloody Marty wants me to go to Drummoyne nets" Clue: The first was in the latter part of the decade.
CLUE #3: The tassietiger Clue for those with Respiratory illnesses: At least one of these occured in Australia.
CLUE #4: The Bookie Clue for constant abuse via msn: On the latter occasion a Western Australian bowler went closest to preventing the occurence.
CLUE #5: The Members Stand Sympathy Clue: The occurence is more a lack of a feat than a feat
CLUE #6: The Burkey Clue: India were involved on both occasions
CLUE #7: The Nameless Clue for lack of imagination: Both occurences were in Australia
CLUE #8: The Tommo_365 Clue for an alphanumeric name: A bowling statistic is involved

I'm thinking of something very interesting that has happened once in the 1880s, once in the 1980s, and once in the last 5 years. The chances are that it won't happen again any time soon.

thats if you assume a stat to be something that was recorded, something factual not just something like a person did a cartwheel celebration.
