With James Anderson dismissing father & son. David Sales in 2005 & now James Sales in 2026.

Are there other examples in FC cricket? So I looked into SA cricket. Must look into Nourse's still but,

Garth Roe dismissed the Cook's

Jimmy in 1994 for Eastern Province
Stephen in 2003 for North West

*Brett Matthews dismissed both Kevin McKenzie & Graeme Pollock in 1986. His younger bro Craig got their sons Neil & Anthony in 1995

Tbh, I am sure there are multiple such instances. As pointed out, the Sales have even played together in CC. Father and son duos aren't that rare, especially in FC level, and often there are less than a decade between the father's retirement and son's debut. So I won't be really surprised if this has happened numerous times, probs a fine number with the Sales only.

Wonder if it's ever been done in Tests tho. Sobers has bowled to both Mankads, but doesn't seems to have dismissed either in Tests

There was a few occassions I thought a bowler was going to get both McKenzie's ie Eric Simons, Adrian Kuiper, Allan Donald, Sarel Cilliers but I don't think it will be that simple. 5 bowlers per game maybe can dismiss you. But I'm intrigued to hear and find more examples to the above.

The best bowlers then tend to have the longevity. So Garth Roe being the guy was not something I was expecting.

County cricket likely the place.

D'Oliveira's
Butcher's
Cowdrey's
Broad's

In reference to dismissing grandfather and grandson in FC
Click to expand...
CK Nayudu played his last FC match in 1963/64. His grandson, Vijay, 49 years younger, played his first in 1960/61. That is not a typo.

Only problem is that in that game CK Nayudu was dismissed by Ajit Wadekar, very much a part-time bowler. But I'm sure there's some overlap.

These are the only bats to do it multiple times.

Bert Vance conceded 77 runs in a single over — the most expensive over in first-class cricket history (contrived category), consisting of 22 balls, bowled by Wellington against Canterbury on February 20, 1990, in a Shell Trophy first-class match at Lancaster Park (now AMI Stadium) in Christchurch, New Zealand.

I'm pretty sure this record is well known, but the context might not be as well known. The context was pure end-of-season desperation; Wellington needed a win to clinch the domestic title and had set Canterbury a target of 291 runs in 59 overs. By the final day, Canterbury reached 196 for 8 after 57 overs, with Lee Germon unbeaten on 75 — the match looked headed for a draw. To force a result, Wellington's captain and players devised a bizarre plan: bowl deliberately loose deliveries (full tosses and beamers) via part-time bowler Bert Vance (who had little to lose in his figures) to gift runs and encourage Canterbury to chase aggressively, risking their last wickets. Vance bowled a marathon over with 17 no-balls (mostly intentional), and only the second ball was legitimate in the first 17 deliveries. Germon smashed 70 runs off it (including eight sixes and five fours), racing to his century on the sixth ball, while Roger Ford chipped in a few. The scoring sequence read: 0-4-4-4-6-6-4-6-1-4-1-0-6-6-6-6-6-0-0-4-0-1 (with extras from no-balls inflating the total). Confusion reigned — scorers enlisted spectators for help, and the umpire mistakenly called "over" after just five legitimate balls.

Canterbury finished on 290 for 8 — agonizingly one run short of victory — so the match drew anyway. XD.

It is now just a suburban park with no stadium, grandstands etc. after it got destroyed in the Christchurch earthquake 15 years ago. Ironically AMI, the sponsor at the time, is an insurance company. As the area/park is no longer sponsored it is again called Lancaster Park.

On May 12, 2022, Surrey scored 671/9d against Kent, without any of their batters reaching triple figure. Highest score was 96 (by Ollie Pope). All of their batters reached double figures, three of them were out in the 90s.
Scorecard:

The record for highest score in a completed all out innings without any century, however, belongs to Namibia (609 all out).
Scorecard:

Highest score without a century in test belongs to Sri Lanka (531 all out).

But this one in particularly interesting. India scored 524/9d, but their highest score was only 70 (by Mohinder Amarnath)
