5. Is Salim Malik involved? No
6. Does it relate to bowling economically rather than to taking wickets? No

Clue: It relates to the taking of a specific wicket (bear in mind that Marks only took 11) and also the common factor won't show up in any record books.

Wisden says Gatting caught Sikander at short leg off Marks in 82 when he didn't hit it - is that the Marks end of it?
