18 wickets so far at the MCG (might be more yet!) Only three days of Test cricket at Melbourne have seen more wickets than this (all first days): 25 in 1901-02, 20 in 1894-95, and 20 in 1932-33. Two others with 18 - 3rd day in 1903-04, and 4th day in 1998-99 (all Tests v England)

@cricketslave @ACScricket Six-ball overs according to Cricket Archive

@gulu1959 @ESPNcricinfo @ACScricket My obituary from Wisden 2017 is here: https://t.co/EJBFqNN4I1 (it should say he died in 2014, we were slightly late picking it up)

Just tried to send a direct message on here and looks like I can't any more. I was wondering if Richard Naughton's tennis book The Outcasts, about Dick Savitt (who I interviewed a few years ago) and Art Larsen, is available anywhere as a physical book (not ebook)? @rbnaughton

[Steven Lynch @AskStevenSport]

@Tbsickel Looks like it, yes. There's been two close together a few times. This is all the T20 97s: https://t.co/IDHM34alGU

@TazzSatti It’s happened once before, by Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka at Bulawayo in 2004. And nearly at Kingston in 1954-55 (WI v Australia) - five 100s and Sobers conceded 99! See https://t.co/nG6Dm0061v #ENGvPAK

@ChrissieEvert Not sure about the dodgy bloke behind you in the hat, though 😸

[Steven Lynch @AskStevenSport]

@ChrissieEvert Here goes! There’s you, Jack Kramer, Arthur Ashe, and Evonne Goolagong talking to Stan Smith? Next row is tough - Alice Marble, Shirley Fry, Doris Hart (green)? Then Don Budge, Fred Perry, Lew Hoad (?). Front Henri Cochet, Rene Lacoste, Jean Borotra, Kitty Godfree, Frank Sedgman

[Steven Lynch @AskStevenSport]

@DrBaalt @ChrissieEvert That’s the German baron Gottfried von Cramm in the natty blazer. Don Budge in the pic to the right. The bottom pic is Perry and (I think) Frank Shields, grandfather of Brooke. I don’t think they played each other at Wimbledon - not in a final anyway - might be the Davis Cup?

@ChrissieEvert 1977 I think? 100th anniversary of the first Wimbledon?

@ForeveRFan_RF This Kanpur game lies fourth. Second is India v South Africa at Cape Town in January - 46.5 overs https://t.co/hkfcdkmHvJ

[Steven Lynch @AskStevenSport]

@ForeveRFan_RF I think it’s England’s 46 overs in this match: https://t.co/beUdSJWq6W

@gulu1959 He won the 400m wearing number 400 I believe…

@Final_Word_Pod @ZaltzCricket @norcrosscricket Someone wrote that Ken Higgs’s arse was so big it crossed two postcodes 🤭

@HistoricSports2 Eastham had a peculiar international career - he won about 20 England caps, all of them between the 1962 World Cup (when he was in the squad but did not play) and the 1966 World Cup (when he was in the squad but did not play)

@sdearth @usopen @vrcsports A Canadian guy called Frank Dancevic did it in 2011, and was said at the time to be the first man to do it. Not sure if anyone has repeated the feat

[Steven Lynch @AskStevenSport]

I used to love these. Anybody seen any recently?
