Yay, I'll ask

Who is the only night watchman in test cricket to have scored a 100 in test cricket?

I want the :

a)Name
b)Country
c)Year in which the match was played in, or the scorecard.

Have fun :P

Hmm, Im sure I've read this somewhere. I'll dig out my cricket bookshelf and have a riffle

EDIT - Tony Mann, 105 v India at Perth?

Nope, incorrect.

Need the year too

 

[FreddieFan]

As in its right but I haven't fullfilled the requirements of the question? Or that my answer is wrong anyway?

 

[Insomniac]

Your answers wrong anyway

December 1977: The first Test hundred by a genuine
night-watchman came against India - when Australian
Tony Mann scored 105 at Perth.

If I am not wrong, didn't Mark Boucher score a century coming as a night watcman?

EDIT: Boucher becomes the first South African, and third Test night-watchman to score a hundred and this was against ZImbabwe.

Test # 1468
South Africa v Zimbabwe Test Series, 1999/00, 2nd Test
Zimbabwe v South Africa
Harare Sports Club
11,12,13,14 November 1999 (5-day match)

So can we amend the question to who are the others?

Hmm,ya but his question was that who was the Only nightwatchman,so seems to be a flaw there.

 

[andrew_nixon]

At least 3 nightwatchmen have scored test centuries to my knowledge, so I'm declaring this question null and void.

Anybody can ask a question, but remember the rules.

 

[FreddieFan]

Which Englishman has the highest tally of runs in a world cup tournament and when (what year)?

No cricinfo though

Note - After reading it through, I thought it sounded a bit unclear. The question is looking for the highest run tally by an Englishman, not saying an Englishman has the highest tally overall.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Hmm, Ian Botham? 1992/1988??

 

[sid_19840]

G.Gooch?

I found it here.I want Andrew to ask the next question

[FreddieFan]

Well, it is Gooch, but you seem to have misunderstood the question. I'm asking for the highest tally in a single tournament, so you need the year too.

Is it 1988?

 

[FreddieFan]

Oooh, so close...
