What about Brian Close. I know there weren't as many Tests but his Test career spanned 1949-1976.

I believe the Jamaica groundsman should also take some blame.

Actually, apparently they rescheduled the Test a couple of days later at another ground (I do not remember this), and they were ****loads of runs scored in that one.

Then the Jamaica groundsman must take the whole blame.

I would never call you an idiot. Your IQ points would have to be below 20 for that. But I would call you an imbecile when the time comes though!

There was that third Test in South Africa in 2001 that was played in the aftermath of the Mike Denness incident, which was deemed unofficial by the ICC.
Tendulkar was meant to be suspended for the Test, which provides us the extreme irony of his act of participating in a game, rather than sitting one out, being what rendered it unofficial and cost him the 'record'.

To all the teams scoring 750+ in an inning and then declared.

Nah - that has no real effect - the next team comes in and continues batting. It mostly seams this is about time lost, and 345 runs is looking for a loss of about a day.

Last test on Pakistani soil. SL scores 650 something for 6 Pakistan is 100 odd for 1 at end of day 2 then the terrorist attack happens the next morning its safe to say on that bowlers graveyard an aggregate of 355 would have been scored over 3 days for the loss of 29 wickets,

Sheesh - If dead people didn't do it for you, that just may be the defining reason to Hate those bastards.
It really pisses me off that people somehow think to involve sports into their twisted political and war ambitions. Sports should be left out of everything and just played and supported.

Also it'd be nice if they didn't shoot people and blow them up regardless

Anyways, if I can pull this thread back to something of it's original ambition - now that we have worked out it is missed days of play that is the cause of Tendulkar's unfortunate plight, I was originally hoping to hear about some quite unexpected bowling performances.
I'm not talking about things like McGrath, where he decimated England, but it was in conditions where you may have expected that. I was looking for a bowling performance that was just way out of the park unexpected, where one bowler was Hyde to everyone else's Jeckle for no particular reason - something where the pitch wasn't the factor. I think Gladstone Small may have done one of these once. That sort of stuff.

hmm. It wasn't Gladstone Small i was thinking about. I have some vague memory of my mate telling me about an English bowler taking something like 8 wickets in an innings that you would never have expected. Dunno ?
