Ashes Trivia

Botham, Hammond, Flintoff, Woolley, Illingworth, Greig, Rhodes, Braund, Stokes.

IIRC

Mitchell Starc is one of only two bowlers to concede over four runs an over when taking five-wicket hauls. The other is another Ashes player.

(qualification: at least 3 five-fors)

 

[Cabinet96]

Broad or Johnson I'd guess.

 

[Howe_zat]

Nah older.

 

[Furball]

McGrath

 

[Furball]

Wait, I think I'm misreading the question. Do you mean that if I statsguru'd this and narrowed it down to just 5 wicket hauls that Starc and AN Other's economy rate during said innings would be over 4?

 

[Furball]

I'm guessing either Finn or Onions, both of whom have pretty high economy rates IIRC.

Yeah so in the innings where they are taking 5+ wicket hauls, they concede more than 4 an over on average in those innings.

And no - older

Michael Clarke?

 

[Howe_zat]

No

I'll narrow it down - It's an England player who took one of his 5fers in Perth

Macgill?

There's 9. Try to get all of them before clicking the link.

Got eight. I had Bailey as my ninth - totally forgot about Len Braund.

No

Craig White got a 5-fer-plenty in Perth back in 02/03. Not a great leap to assume his other Michelles were expensive as well.

(qualification: at least 3 five-fors)

Besides Starc and the other Ashes player, Upul Chandana also took 3 five-fors (2 v Aus at Cairns in 2004, 1 v Pakistan at Dhaka in 1999) which (overall) went for over 4 an over.

Panesar?

 

[Howe_zat]

Nah Sean got it

 

[Furball]

I suspect the answer to this is "no", but has any bowler done better than Broad at Trent Bridge, who took his 5th wicket of the innings with just the 19th ball that he bowled?

 

[Riggins]

cape town maybe?

 

[mightymariner]

Looked it up, and it appears that Broad is tied on 19 balls with someone else

 

[Lokomotiv]

Are there records of Tests?
For example, in the Ashes this year, there was an innings whose length was only 18.3 overs (60 runs, all out, and 3 ducks).
