Strange records

[marc71178]

Initial thought is perhaps he was off the field during the SA innings?

 

[JBMAC]

Here's a few "oddities" to whet your whistles over.......

1.T. Andrews was caught 3 times off 3 consecutive no balls in scoring 164 for tAussies in1926 against Middlesex

2.Clem Hill,playing for OZ became one of the first batsmen to be dismissed for 3 consecutive nineties...99,98 and 97(2nd inns 1st Test,next 2 innings next test) Aust vs England 1901/02

3.R.Duff scored 9 runs off a ball from W.Brearley, including 4 overthrows (Aussie vs Gentlemen Crystal palace 1905)

4.Rodney Hogg was no balled 100 times in only 5 matches on the Aussie tour of India in 1979/80

5.Greg Chappell became the first player to score a century in each innings in his First Test as Captain, scoring 123 and 109* in the Test against the West Indies in the 1975/76 season at the Gabba

Enjoy

Hmm, looking at the scorecard, wondering why Bell would've batted as low as 7 in first innings of the 1st Test of that series?

From the 1999 New Zealand Cricket Almanack report for the match: "Bell injured himself while fielding early on the first day and later suffered from illness and was therefore unable to bat above number seven in the first innings due to time spent off the field."

THAT Telegram

During D.R.Jardines M.C.C. tour of Australia The Australian Board of Control sent the following telegram to the M.C.C. at Lords.
"Body-line bowling has assumed such proportions as to menace the best interests of the game.This is causing intensely bitter feeling between the players as well as injury.In our opinion it is unsportsmanlike.Unless stopped at once it is likely to upset the friendly relations between Australia and England...We are deeply concerned that the ideals of the game shall be protected to report on the action necessary to eliminate such bowling from Australian Cricket as from the beginning of the 1933-34 season"


Not necessarily a "record" per se ...but it is a record in that it was sent

Wondering if the following record still stands? Any ideas??

S.Ramadhin[West Indies] sent down 774 balls in 129 overs against England at Birmingham in 1957,beating H.Verity's 766 for England against South Africa at Durban,1938-39.In this match[Ramadhin] also bowled the most balls in an Innings[588] The highest number of bowls by one man is 917 by C.S.

The great George Headley is officially the most unsuccessful test bowler of all time. He's conceded more runs (230) than any other bowler without taking a wicket.

 

[Zinzan]

Have found one that's not all that strange, but may surprise a few to know that Ross Taylor currently has the highest catching dismissals per innings conversion rate of all non-keeping fielders in both ODI's & Tests.

Filters used were ODI's >50 catches & Tests >40

Surprising that a New Zealand slip fielder in this era would have such a conversion rate

Ian Healy and Stephen Fleming are the only 2 international cricketers to play over 100 tests without bowling a single ball

When India made 385 on the opening day of the 1st test match in the recent Ind-SL series, it was the most runs made in a day in tests by India at that time, after playing 76 years of tests. Since then, in the next 2 tests, India happened to beat it twice over, making 417 runs in a day in the 2nd test & 443 in a day in the 3rd test

 

[Matt79]

Remember seeing Ian Healy bowling in AB's Tribute Match, dressed up as Merv Hughes (fake moustache, pillow shoved under his shirt). Obviously not an international match, but just a funny memory. He bowled two or three balls doing a complete impersonation of Merv, but was then too buggered to do the run up anymore and finished the over bowling spin off a single step IIRC. Same match that Aussie female cricket Zoe Goss clean bowled Brian Lara.

Used to be on Youtube that. A quick search reveals the Fun Police must have since taken it down.

 

[slugger]

adam gilchrist 1st 15 matches where wins, it could ve been the first16 but Ian Healy played the first match. it was when australia won 16 in a row.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Stephen Fleming got out in the 90s in both his debut Test and ODI.

Only a couple of days apart, if memory serves me correct.

India's Sreesanth is the first international cricketer to test positive for swine flu .. More

Ian Healy and Stephen Fleming are the only 2 international cricketers to play over 100 tests without bowling a single ball

Although Fleming has bowled in an ODI and even taken a wicket! I seem to recall he had a pretty ugly action - all arms and legs. That said, your record is still correct - I just wanted to show off a bit...
