of their 100th caps. Who has taken the most catches in his first-class career? asked Sivaraman Narayanaan from In

The early breakSoumya Sarkar was marking his position at deep square-leg in the first over despite the fact some 30 minutes earlier at the toss, Mashrafe had confirmed that Soumya had been dropped for the first time in his international career, making way for Imrul Kayes. The confusion ended when it was noticed that Taskin Ahmed was missing among the fielders. He had apparently taken a comfort break, which meant that he missed the first two overs of the innings. There was no problem in making up time as he only came to bowl in the 25th over.The cheekBen Duckett lived up to his billing with his 60 in his debut innings, although Ben Stokes strokeplay at times made you forget that another bright left-hander was at the other end. But Duckett did have his moments during their 153-run fifth wicket stand, and one of them came in the 27th over when he shimmied towards off stump to lift the fast bowler Taskin Ahmed over the wicketkeepers head for a boundary. The newcomers presence of mind was laudable.The first dropWhen Stokes slammed one towards mid-on in the 31st over, here was Bangladeshs chance for a major breakthrough. Stokes and Duckett had added 108 runs to that point and a wicket could had stopped Bangladeshs sliding fortunes. Instead, Mahmudullah dropped a straightforward chance off the Stokes bunt and the home sides fielding disintegrated. The ball was struck hard but it was right into Mahmudullahs lap after he made a little ground to his right. Unfortunately, his fall to complete the catch resulted in the ball getting out of his control.The last strawThe Bangladesh bowlers didnt offer much more than a scowl after Mahmudullah and Mosharraf Hossain managed to drop three chances between them, and catches fell between fielders twice. But Taskin had had enough when Tamim Iqbal and Mosaddek Hossain made a royal mess of a skier in the 49th over. Miscommunication was to be blamed as Mosaddek, who had the catch within his reach, didnt go for it. Taskin screamed in anger, as his bowling stint ended wicketless.The hole in oneImruls intent was shown straight away when he deposited Chris Woakes into the stands at deep square leg. It was so well struck, that the ball got lodged into an advertising hoarding on the second level of the grandstand. A volunteer needed to climb up and fetch the ball, which took some finding. He took delight in doing so, while Woakes waited for the retrieval.The (other) captains approvalAs David Willey was sizing up a fiercely struck pull from Sabbir Rahman at deep midwicket, Englands Test captain Alastair Cook was standing nearby over the boundary rope. Willey completed the juggling act brilliantly, converting the half-chance into a timely breakthrough and removing Sabbir. Cook, meanwhile, was still standing in his spot but now he was celebrating with a clenched fist and a grin in his face.The freebieImrul batted splendidly until he had reached 98 off 104 balls, at which point Willey literally gifted him the hundred with four overthrows that, while close to effecting a run-out as he struck the stumps, could have been avoided. Willey undid a bit of his good work on the boundary to get rid of Sabbir. Imrul meanwhile was relieved to reach the landmark, his first in ODIs after six years.The missed sitterImruls first life, as such, was in the 40th over when the England captain and wicketkeeper Jos Buttler dropped a sitter off his top edge. Imrul was getting tired at this stage and when Jake Ball had bounced him, the attempted pull was a weak attempt. But what was even weaker was Buttlers attempted grab, as he dropped the ball while trying to appeal for the caught behind.Calvin Ridley Jersey . "Were just throwing s--- at the wall hoping something sticks," said Tortorella about the possible line combinations for Fridays game against Columbus. The Canucks have lost five straight games and six of their last seven, leaving them in a logjam in the Pacific Division, currently sitting fifth - good for ninth in the Western Conference.

Was this some sort of record? asked Tushar Trivedi from India (and many others) Those 110s by Kusal Perera, Upul Tharanga and Dimuth Karunaratne for Sri Lanka against Zimbabwe in Harare last week did set a new mark for the highest score made three times in the same Test match. The previous-highest three-peat was 99, by Dennis Amiss, Majid Khan and Mushtaq Mohammad in the match between Pakistan and England in Karachi in 1972-73. The previous-highest scored three times by the same team was 78, by Desmond Haynes, Viv Richards and Richie Richardson for West Indies against New Zealand in Port-of-Spain in 1984-85.South Africa have won their last three Tests at Perth. Has anyone else managed this against Australia? asked Mikkel de Vries from South Africa Youre right in thinking that Australia have a good record at the WACA ground in Perth - they have won 24 of the 43 matches there, and have drawn eight. Of their 11 defeats, South Africa have been responsible for the last three, in 2008-09, 2012-13 and 2016-17; the Proteas drew their only other Test there (in 2005-06), so are undefeated in Perth. England have won there only once, against an under-strength Aussie team during the World Series Cricket era in 1978-79; New Zealand pulled off their one and only victory in 1985-86, when Richard Hadlee took 11 wickets; and India won in 2007-08. But West Indies won their first five Tests at the WACA - in 1975-76, 1984-85, 1988-89, 1992-93 and 1996-97 - before coming down to earth with an innings defeat in 2000-01, and suffered another reverse in 2009-10.Apparently the Aussie collapse at Perth was the third-worst for a team whose openers put on 150 or more. What are the two entries above this? asked Stuart from South Africa In the first Test against South Africa in Perth, Australia lost all ten wickets for 86 after David Warner and Shaun Marsh put on 158 for the first wicket. The only two lower totals after an opening stand of 150-plus were both by Zimbabwe: in their second innings against West Indies in Bulawayo in July 2001 they collapsed from 164 for 0 to 228 all out, then six months later in January 2002 they reached 153 for 0 in their first innings against Sri Lanka in Galle, only to subside to 236 all out, with five wickets apiece for Muttiah Muralitharan and Sanath Jayasuriya. The lowest completed innings to include a 150 partnership for any wicket is Sri Lankas 216 against South Africa in Durban in 2000-01 - Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene added 168 for the third wicket, but the other nine batsmen managed just 35 runs between them.How many players have scored more than 200 runs in a Test over two innings without being dismissed, as Kraigg Brathwaite did for West Indies against Pakisstan? asked Savo Ceprnich from South Africa It was a slight surprise to discover that Kraigg Brathwaite, who made 142 and 61 - both not out - for West Indies against Pakistan in Sharjah last week, comes in only 17th on this particular list.dddddddddddd Its headed by the New Zealander Stephen Fleming, with 343 runs in undefeated innings of 274 and 69 against Sri Lanka in Colombo in April 2003; Sachin Tendulkar also made more than 300 runs over two innings in a Test without getting out, with 241 and 60 for India v Australia in Sydney in 2003-04. The most runs in a Test without getting out is, of course, Brian Laras 400 not out in just one innings for West Indies against England at St Johns in 2003-04. I was even more surprised, however, to realise that Brathwaite was the first opener ever to remain undefeated in both innings of a Test match.Who are the youngest and oldest players to appear in 100 Test matches? asked Timothy Rankin from England The youngest man at the time of his 100th Test cap was Englands Alastair Cook, who was 28 years 353 years old when he reached three figures, in Perth in 2013-14 (he undoubtedly hoped for a better result: Australia won by 150 runs). Cook beat Sachin Tendulkars previous mark - he was 29 years 134 days old when he played his 100th Test, for India against England at The Oval in 2002. All the other 62 players to date who have won 100 or more caps were over 30 when they reached their century; the oldest remains Geoff Boycott, 40 years 254 days old against Australia at Lords in 1981. Clive Lloyd (in 1983-84) and Graham Gooch (1992-93) were both 39 at the time of their 100th caps. Who has taken the most catches in his first-class career? asked Sivaraman Narayanaan from India There are nine men - eight of them wicketkeepers - who have taken more than 1000 catches in their first-class careers. All of them had long county careers in England, and top of the pile is Bob Taylor, who started with Derbyshire in 1960 and played on for them to 1988, when he was 47. Taylor, who also appeared in 57 Tests, finished with 1473 catches; 176 stumpings gave him 1649 dismissals all told, another record. The only outfielder on the list is Frank Woolley, with 1018 for Kent and England during a career that stretched from 1906 to 1938, by which time he was 51. The next man to join the list ought to be Nottinghamshires Chris Read, who ended the 2016 English season with 995 catches. Its not too fanciful to suggest that Read will be the last man ever to reach four figures - the next current player on the list is the 36-year-old Essex keeper James Foster, with 775.Post your questions in the comments below ' ' '
