What was Mark Butchers squad number for Surrey County Cricket Club last year?

Does anyone know of a link to the ball that Michael Vaughan clean bowled Sachin Tendulkar with at Trent Bridge 2002?

Anyone with a link to the 2007 WC semis : Aus vs SA ?? Want to see the Saffie collapse again

Could someone direct me to the test where Strauss batted on and on and made crocked Freddie bat, please? One of the away matches aginst the Windies, wasn't it? Flintoff got himself out for a duck.

Is this the one Stroller?

Strauss batting on and on - check
Crocked Flintoff - check
Away against the Windies - check
Flintoff got a duck - check and check

That's the one, cheers! After they abandoned the test beach cricket experiment, of course!

I was pretty much horrified by that test. Flintoff bowled himself into the gound, and then Strauss made them bat on and on. Freddie hobbled out to bat, tried a couple, then tossed one up to mid-on or something.

Wanted to see that wicket as well. How could Sachin get clean bowled to Vaughan

I can remember it really well. Sachin was bowled straight through the gate - the sort of stuff that would have made Murali proud. Sachin does have a history of getting out to debutants or occasional bowlers.

If that had been Shane Warne bowling, it would make any 2mins youtube compilation of his finest wickets..... no doubt many of the worlds best batters would have ended in the hutch after that, it gripped and ripped through Sachs defences.

Is Sachin falling to debutants not a myth? I mean of course he does fall to debutants but statistically he is bound to fall to them as he has played the most number of innings ever in International cricket. On an average does he fall more to debutants than other batsmen?

Maybe it's a fact but I wonder. He has fallen quite a lot of times to Anderson I believe. Anyway doesn't really matter does it?

Its not a myth. He's fallen the most number of times to debutants. He's fallen to Anderson a few times while creaming Flintoff at his peak. He's dismissed Akram, Waqar and Shoaib several times while repeatedly falling to Abdul Razzak and most recently he was Peter George's maiden international wicket. By his own confession, he wasmost concerned about Hansie Cronje and has rated him as the bowler who has troubled him the most.

Yes of course he has fallen the most number of times to debutant, he must be the player who has lost his wicket the most as he has played the most innings. What I would like to know is : is the percentage of his wickets falling to debutants higher than the others?

I am trying to find ranji trophies previous records (best batting/bowling/etc) and can't seem to find it on cricinfo. Can anyone tell me if there is something like this existing for Indian Domestic cricket?

Thanks!
