    Andy Ganteaume and Rodney Redmond also undeniably scored 100s in their first and last Tests. (On Statsguru you can set the filters so only a player's first and last Tests are included. This can give strange results for people who only played one Test - e.g. it says that Charles Marriott (who...

    There was also Border scoring 150* and 153 in the same Test. The first of Hammond's back-to-back 200s (1928-9 Ashes) were his first two Test hundreds. He then scored 119* and 177 in the next match. Clarke scored 329*, 18, 210 in consecutive innings in the same year as his back-to-back 200s -...

    All-Time New Zealand XIs - A re-run

    It says something for how much time I've wasted looking at cricket scorecards that I glanced at the G team and my first thought was "I think Rutherford and Lees have been given the wrong middle initials"...

    In the innings where Barrington took 3-4 at the #10 bowler, Boycott took 3-47 as the #8. South Africa also used 10 bowlers in the match (neither keeper bowled, but everyone else did), although 4 of them just bowled 2 overs apiece in England's brief second innings (15-0).

    What are the greatest test innings of the following ATG bats

    Though Botham (and the other England bowlers) may have been lacking focus - Ken Barrington, their assistant manager, died the night before Richards began his innings.

    All-Time West Indies XIs - A re-run

    I'm surprised that David Murray wasn't picked, when some reckoned he was unlucky not to be picked ahead of Deryck (in the 70s, as opposed to in this thread).
