[sherb]

Something very (very!) unusual occurred in this recent first-class match.

[Mateyman]

Austin got "timed out"?

Austin got "timed out"?

Only the fifth time in the history of first-class cricket apparently.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Given he was batting Jack and opening the bowling I daresay one of the following occurred.

* The umps didn't see the captain declare (unlikely given the scores)
* He was on the shitter
* Thought he was better off using the extra minutes to warm up to bowl.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Just a sneaky 8-for to go with it, don't think he'll be too upset.

A world record was equalled in this match, still in progress (only the 8th occurrence in first-class cricket):

It shouldn't be too hard to spot.

That's amazing.

I reckon the umpires got sick of watching Yorkshire stack on the runs, so any shout was rewarded and everything between point and square leg was in front of the stumps.

Here's the full list of the 8 occurrences. Interestingly, the first occurrence was in 1980. So no occurrences for over 100 years of f-c cricket, then eight in 34 years.

I must admit the (relatively) recent South Australia v Queensland occurrence got past me, I can't remember if it got mentioned here. (Hopes and Feldman got four each).

[Secret Qootyer]

odd, it's not like the batsmen out before him were out suddenly or anything...

 

[sherb]

Four lbw's were given by each umpire.

Another unusual occurrence. Not very difficult to spot.

Good to see Andy Flower has found a new coaching position.

Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, 1 not out......

Jim Maxwell would be orgasmic at being able to announce that the highest scorer was Xavier Tras.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, 1 not out......

Number 11 deserves a go up the order
