+Carbon Hunter Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Urinated on the pitch - as in the 10cc song?
+Henzz Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Stuck his finger into another players ..... uhm... flipside ?
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Kicked the ball out of the refs hands?
+Bouts777 Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Picked up the ball and started to run, Webb Ellis style!?
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Kicked the oppositions penalty away before they could take it?
+Wazat Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Kicked the oppositions penalty away before they could take it? You might not know the name Ilunga Mwepu. But you’ve probably seen him in action. Mwepu is the famous Zaire right back who cleared a Brazilian free kick in a 1974 World Cup group game by lashing it up the field. Before the Brazilians had chance to take it. Obviously you can’t do that. So obviously Mwepu was booked (much to his surprise, apparently). In some ways you have to credit Mwepu for his quick thinking. In other ways you have to despair at his lack of football knowledge. Edited January 12, 2011 by Wazat
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 With India playing cricket in SA at the moment - a bit of cricket trivia. In 2000 West Indies toured England. At the LORDS test something really incredible happened on DAY 2 of this test. What was it?
+trevorh7000 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) I don't think this is it - but it would have been incredible had it happened Eric Roe's younger cousin, equally well endowed stripped off and ran on to the pitch! Trev Edited January 14, 2011 by trevorh7000
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 No - clue - not many runs - lots of wickets. And no - not about the total number of wickets on any day (although it certainly is a contender for that) - not the answert I am looking for
+Wazat Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Lowest amount of runs for most wicket losses of the most balls bowled in a single day? And even so England won?
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 You're getting too technical Nope - a very simple answer - no statisticians needed. BTW: Was not the most wickets - only 21 wickets fell on that day (tie 9th). Runs are irrellevant to the answer.
+Wazat Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 England went in to bat, lost their last three wickets remaining from day 1, Then WI came in to bat lost all their wickets and England came in and lost all but the last wicket to win the match????
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Close - you are getting the right idea - but that is three!
+warthog Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I enjoy cricket so let's try this one: England's last three wickets went to a hat trick and maybe the hattrick was the first three balls of the day?
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Nope - more to do with the 21 wickets in the day leading to the only time in the history of test cricket that ......
+malo mystery Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 .....if the follow on was enforced then maybe one team was bowled out twice within a day, but come to think of it, if that happened on day two then the test would be finished on the second day - dont think that has ever happened before.
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Getting closer. But not as technical (well at least I dont think so )
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Nope - more to do with the 21 wickets in the day leading to the only time in the history of test cricket that ...... All of WHAT (or part of what) occurred on a single day of a test match?
+cincol Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 21wickets implies that all batsmen of both teams were at the crease during the course of the day 22 batsmen in the middle in 1 day?
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Yes - but there have been days when MORE wickets fell on a single day of play - but this was the ONLY day in test cricket history that "something" occured. It could not have occurred without the wickets all falling Technically Hansie Cronje and Nasser Hussein came close when they both declared their innings for ZERO in January 2000 in Pretoria (Centurion).
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Nope - but the innings is the operative word
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Nope - more to do with the 21 wickets in the day leading to the only time in the history of test cricket that ...... All of WHAT (or part of what) occurred on a single day of a test match? Think about the clues

All of WHAT (or part of what) occurred on a single day of a test match? Think about the clues Got IT (I think) 4 innings in one day Must Be! Logic - start the day with 9 down in the first innings - 1 wicket closes innings 1, then 20 wickets closes innings 2 and 3 leaving innings 4 to start! Trev Edited January 24, 2011 by trevorh7000
