===========

[pachaitamillan]

The first tennis male player to win 5 wimbledon titles is pete sampras

[smith1]

U are wrong, nakkereran.

William Renshaw was the 1st player to win 6 wimbledon titles in a row.

But that was not in the open era.

In his time, the player winning the title had to play only the final the next year.

In the open era, it is borg & now federer.

[sathya_1979]

Who was the only player to have won the Man of the Match in an ODI match? He did not score a single run, did not take a single wicket and he was not the captain in that match.

[Devar Magan]

Who was the only player to have won the Man of the Match in an ODI match? He did not score a single run, did not take a single wicket and he was not the captain in that match.i think its gavaskar.. in a match at sharjah, a final against pak.. he took some 5 catches..

or it may be rhodes in the 1992 WC match pakistan

[sathya_1979]

No. It was Cameron Cuffy (WI) against Zimbabwe in 2001. Zimbabwe lost the match chasing 266. Cuffy was awarded the MOM for his spell of 10 Overs for 20 Runs (No Wickets though).

[CEDYBLUE]

what is the maximum runs scored off a single ball in test matches and who scored those :wink:

[Kalyasi]

what is the maximum runs scored off a single ball in test matches and who scored those :wink:


Talking cricket in general, there are many stories, most apocryphal, that come around from time to time about the ball being lost in long grass on the village green and the batsmen running plenty before it's eventually found or declared lost. In Test cricket, however, the most runs off one ball without overthrows or penalties was equalled many times today - it's only six. As details are unavailable for every ball, it is difficult to pinpoint the highest ever scored from one ball, although Bill Frindall recalls Alan Knott scoring seven with a push to cover that resulted in two lots of overthrows.

If this story is true, however, it is undoubtedly the most runs scored off a single ball in first-class cricket. Recounted by Tony Deyal in the Trinidad Express on November 14, 1998, it reads: "Also in Australia, an invasion of locusts made visibility so difficult at a match that the game had to be abandoned. The most runs off one ball, in the days before limits were placed, also happened in Australia. Victoria, playing against Western Australia, scored 286 runs off one hit, the first delivery in the match. The ball was hit into the a branch of a very tall tree. The umpire disallowed the claim for "lost ball" because the ball was visible. While the batsmen were running, the players sent for an axe to cut down the tree but none was found. The ball was eventually shot down by one of the players using a rifle, but in the excitement nobody thought of catching the ball." Alas, no such match exists in our first-class records, so its veracity is very doubtful.

RK, 2 and 3 are right :thumbsup:

1 is wrong. Are you able to able to guess the incident in 1 ?

[ajithfederer]

1. chennai

[Ramakrishna]

Its the handling the ball incident.

[Sanguine Sridhar]

[tscii:64a04690ff]
Its the handling the ball incident.


Steve Waugh in an ‘act of foolishness for a split second’ decided to handle the ball after attempting a sweep shot. Steve was so nervous after the huge appeal from the Indians for an lbw shout that he patted the ball away with his hand

http://www.cricketfundas.com/indauschen01.html[/tscii:64a04690ff]

[P_R]

Yes. In the pic you see the appeal is for lbw (as Steve Waugh is seen in the act of tapping the ball away). It was an instinctive act from him. I was there and a chorus of voices in the gallery immediately shouted : "Hey! that's out". Not sure if audience at other grounds follow the game and its rules as carefully as the ones in Chepauk.

Ok so 4 remains

[Ramakrishna]

Any clue for the 4th one?
Is it in terms of statistics or their style of play?

[P_R]

Any clue for the 4th one?
Is it in terms of statistics or their style of play?

Hmm you can say statistics - even that would be a misleading clue.

These two are among the list of players who share a unique distinction.
Surely the first one should be recognizable. He is one of the 1992 World Cup Captains.


Look carefully at the face of the second one, you can see some resemblance to his popular descendants.

Madan lal has 625 wickets but somewhere I remember reading that Madan lal is the highest wicket taker in ranji trophy.. anyhow sorry for this!!

[Kalyasi]

Good question and very good clue

Good answer illaya? :(

Very good answer!!

[P_R]

Yeah.
cricinfo credits Madanlal with 625 first class wickets.
Unfortunately they don't have a searchable database for Ranji.

Here is a Ranji record archive (http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Records/Series/Ranji_Trophy/Bowling_Records/Most_Career_Wickets.html)that has Goel and Venkat at the head of the list. It says Madanlal has 351. I find that hard to believe.
Or perhaps 625-351 where in Duleep, Deodhar etc. Highly unlikely.

Anyway, our domestic tournaments need to have better record organization. cricinfo is the best bet, but somehow they don't seem to pay as much attention as they do to international matches. Hopefully soon....

who has the enviable record of getting out twice in one session?

[ajithfederer]

clue sivan sir

[sivank]

An Indian

[hamid]

getting out twice in one session??
maybe came to bat last and opened in the follow on innings?

year?

[sivank]

No this player opened the first innings and opened the second innings as well in the first session itself.

early 70s

[P_R]

No this player opened the first innings and opened the second innings as well in the first session itself.

early 70s

Complete first innings over in 1 session-A ???
I don't think I understoof the question.

[sivank]

complete first innings was finshed with in 90 minutes. after the fall of the 1st wicket in the 2nd innings the players went for lunch

[ajithfederer]

:rotfl:
India played a tonty tonty in a test match against SA this year. Enaku adhu than nyabagathukku varudhu.

[P_R]

Wow !! I haven't heard of this match at all.

[sivank]

It was at a match played in 1971 between Australia and Rest of the World XI.

Gavaskar and Engineer opened for the W XI.

W XI was bundled for a paltry 59. Lillee took 8 wickets for 29 runs. W XI was asked to follow on and lost its first wicket of Engineer for 4 runs as the score was 9, all in the first session. So Farouk Engineer has the distinction of getting out twice in one session

Who was the only player to have won the Man of the Match in an ODI match? He did not score a single run, did not take a single wicket and he was not the captain in that match.

This is actually Gus Logie, Nov 86 v Pak. I recall watching that game on TV. DD started the coverage a few min late and Pak had already lost their first wicket. The cam focussed on Logie chasing a ball and the commentator(could have been Cozier) mentioned him running 100m in XX.nn seconds.

All this was before Logie got into the act of 3 ct's and 2 ro's.

I and my friend used to watch Logie return the ball to the keeper, a casual overarm flick with little strength. We experienced great success in hitting the stumps and used to refer to our invention as the "Logie Throw"!! :lol:

[sivank]

Let us try this one:

A very famous Indian Test cricketer decided to name his his first born after a rookie(also an Indian) who was playing his first tour.

[Plum]

The rookie was Sunil?

[sivank]

yes

[Plum]

Dilip Sardesai named his son Rajdeep so not him.
Was it GRV? No, I think he later married Sunil's sister, so not him either
It must surely be a Mumbai guy so I reckon Ajit Wadekar?

[sivank]

No plum. None of the above

[Plum]

Sari, Jaisimha's son? Mankad's son?

[Plum]

adhavadhu, did Ashok Mankad name his son Sunil?

[P_R]

adhavadhu, did Ashok Mankad name his son Sunil?
Ashok Mankad's son is the tennis player Harsh Mankad who played represented India in the Davis Cup

[Plum]

oh yeah, I forgot that. Isnt his mother also a former sportswoman?

[Plum]

Vera yaara irukkum? Not BS Bedi surely? Venkat? Prasanna? Heck, is it that Hyderabadi keeper?
Sivan, I give up

[P_R]

Who would have been impressed with Gavaskar so early is the question. :confused2:

[sivank]

you had the answer plum. Innum konjam try pannunga

[Plum]

Prasanna?

[sivank]

No, Bishen Singh Bedi was so impressed by Gavaskar he promptly named his first son after him as Gavasinder Singh.

[Plum]

oh! Bedi-Gavaskar iru dhuruvangaL-ne padichu vaLarndhadhaala, indha angle thOnavE illa.
Gavasinder :lol:

[sivank]

Late 70s and starting 80s la kandippaa perai maathi irundhaalum maathi iruppaan. Adhuvum SMG captain aanadhulendhu avanukkum BSB kkum suthamaa othu pogala

[Plum]

Also, Bedi puLLaiyaandAn, acting ellam kuduthan oru padathula. Asianet Sasikumar was direcor :-)
That guy didnt have this name, so I was convinced it wasnt Bedi.
What was his name?...right, it was Angad Bedi

[sivank]

As far as I know, Bedi was married to an Australian and had children with her. After divorcing her he married an Indian and also have kids through her

[sivank]

Let me ask you guys another one:

One famous cricketer was promoted as the captain of the team for one test and was demoted as the 12th man for the next one. Can you tell about it?

[Plum]

S Venkatraghavan

[Plum]

Oh adhaan he sucks up to Australia so much-A? Sardar kudumu chummA aadadhu!

[sivank]

One more for u guys:

can u name the test where the outfielders wore an helmet to protect themselves(not only close in fielders)

[Plum]

sivan, yaarukkum theriyala pOla, nIngaLE sollunga illainA clue kodunga

[sivank]

1987 la pak visitied India under the captaincy of Imran. It was to be the last series for SMG. During the 4th test in Ahmedabad, suddenly during the 4th day the crowd became wild and started throwing stones and other items against the pak. fielders. Imran was furious and took his team away from the field. SMG and Kapil addressed the crowd through the PA system and after an hour slowly things came to normalcy.

Imran led his team back to the pitch and all the fielders in the outfield wore an helmet to protect themselves

[Plum]

Cool, thanks Sivan. Was this the test where a Younis Ahmed returned to the team after a few years? I think Robin Singh broke that record later.

[raghavendran]

here goes my question.....inzaman-ul-haq attacked a man in the crowd...with his bat...at which tournament/series was it???

[satissh_r]

Sahara Cup in 97 I think... The guy was an Canadian born Indian.

[Plum]

Who is the only Cricketer associated with the all the winners in the history of IPL so far?

I have a hazy recollection of this...I only remember watching Vengsarkar get his 100 on that day(mar 8 87). Ind made 323. After Vengarkar got his 100, Akram ran through the innings.

Pak's slow batting deserved the stoning that test...Kapil was on tv the evening of Day 1 berating them for scoring 130-4 in a days play.

[vramesh]

Cool, thanks Sivan. Was this the test where a Younis Ahmed returned to the team after a few years? I think Robin Singh broke that record later.

did robin break it? Younis came back after 18 yrs i think and robin after 8?

My question:

Has to be an Englishman or an Australian. I'm ruling out WI because they played consecutive finals when it was more than 50 overs. Correcta?

[sathya_1979]

F1 driver who died in a crash in 1994? :(

[Raikkonen]

F1 driver who died in a crash in 1994? :(

Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna.

[Raikkonen]

quick word on roland.

his accident was worse than ayrton's. many watched his death live on tv. it was terrible and happened less than 24 hrs after Barrichello's accident on the same track on friday practice (his crash was the most spectacular, no idea how he survived).

an emergency meeting between drivers was arranged and it was headed by .... Senna. Senna in fact had an Austrian (roland's nationality) flag on his cockpit during the race. He wanted to dedicate the victory to Roland.

But then it happened... An accident which changed the landscape of the sport.

so 2 deaths in 2 days (2 in 1994).
