I think it was Phillips Emry. Trivia - Only keeper other than Healy and Gilchrist to keep to Shane Warne

Phil Emry? He played against Pakistan I think.

Edit: Looks like Eddy beat me to it

That's a load off my mind. Thanks.

Just cricinfoed him and yes, you two are right. Philip Emery who played against Pakistan in '94.

Another trivia question:

Which 2 batsman have a test average of 0.0

Hint: One of them is related to a great English batsman.

I know of only 2 if somebody knows more add it on here.

straightdrive · 21st October 2009, 14:53

As far as I know, there are more than two who played just one Test and were dismissed without scoring.

One I remember offhand is Gavin Hamilton who played for Scotland in the '99 World Cup and then one Test for England.

Fred Grace, WG's brother.

All to easy to get sidetracked from work by exercises like these

A very closely fought match between the 2 top teams in ODI cricket today and not a single post on here

Looks like we have had too much of cricket.

would like to know your thoughts ...

How about giving Venugopal Rao a chance for couple of one dayers ...He has done well in the IPL... He can bowl decent spin and can definitely has a better bat than Jadeja and Kohli

I would prefer Abhishek Nayar over Rao. And no offence lets not go by IPL form , we have seen that with Rohit Sharma and RP Singh .

harry10 · 28th October 2009, 14:48

India 21/1 (3.3 ov)
Sachin out cheaply again :(

woof · 28th October 2009, 15:17

57/1

Sehwag on fire... hope he sticks till 30th over

EDIT: And, he's gone. 70/2 - 11.2 overs.

karanraheja · 28th October 2009, 15:39

By the look of it , 300 plus should be the target set by India, since Aussie's batting has got more strength by inclusion of Shaun Marsh. Hope we dont goof it up today!!

harry10 · 28th October 2009, 16:29

India 167/3 (26.1 ov)
Excellent run rate so far.
Point is can we reach 320 + as this is a pure batting wicket.
