Cupie, we are in Oostralya, 5 wickets for 3 runs against him. Only Poms do it backwards. He finished at 5 wkts for 8 runs, hence he should have been off.
Put me in mind of another great spell of fast bowling, when Dennis Lillee destroyed the World 11 in Perth in the early 1970s at the start of his career.
I think he got 7 for 27, and the Rest of the World were dismissed for 57 (I think), and he got another before the lunch break. I will happily stand corrected on the exact figures, but I think they are around the mark. I know I was excited watching it on TV, as a teenager.
A once in a generation type collapse both times.

Very close with your figures,Ian! Lillee got 8 for 29,and the World 11 was dismissed for 59....'Twas 71/72 season,and the second test,in Perth.Cheers

And, now the Shame of the 2nd Test. Well done to India have to say. Pretty well outplayed us everwhere
????? Is this not the team that,only a couple of weeks,was portayed as having the best bowling attack in the world? Or have I missed something..... were they simply let down by their batsmen? Cheers
