    Test The Ashes Fourth Test December 26-30 1000hrs @ The MCG

    No batter made it to a half century in this game. As with the other two-day Test in Perth, the team batting last made the highest score of the game to win.

    Sobers is the main one, with St Aubrun being his middle name. Not sure who the others are off the top of my head. I was half contemplating doing a team like this, thinking I could also add in Shane Warne, who played district cricket for St Kilda, but I couldn't think of other saintly links.

    I believe the player did catch the ball but then stepped back over the boundary rope and thus gave Sobers another six.

    Yes: Wisden stated that the ball was found by a small boy on the road outside the ground. The ball was presented to Sobers the next day and then was donated to the Trent Bridge Cricket Museum.
