Well...no. Perhaps I should tell you Warne took 2 five wicket hauls in grade cricket during 1990-91, but he wasn't playing for St Kilda.

Fair enough. I had it in my head for some reason that he'd never taken one.

 

[worbod]

Warne played for Glenelg at the beginning of 1990-91 before returning to St Kilda. He never took a five-for with St Kilda.

That's some good trivia.

Is it the fact that three different West Indian batsmen went to the crease but West Indies did not actually lose a wicket that day?

Spot on.
Pedro Collins retired hurt early on as the night watchman, before Adams and Lara put on 300 or so after they started the day at 4-34 or thereabouts.

Two pairs of repeated scores in the first innings?

Two pairs of repeated scores in the first innings?

Well, that is unique, but as with the one day game I quoted from 2000, I am focusing on an interesting mode of dismissal.

Alvin Kallicharran

Queensland

He played in SA during their apartheid regime, and required "honorary white" status. I don't know how he could live with himself for that!
