I know players of Indian origin playing for other countries (Eg: Vikram Solanki, Deepak Patel). Was there any non-Indian player who represented India?

Not sure if he was an Indian who played for England or vice-versa(technically, I think he was an England citizen but not sure about the timelines of his playing for India - before, during or after England citizienship - appollAm dual citizienship kUda kedaiyAdhu )

Who is he?

[Puliyan_Biryani]

Relatively easy one, I think.

A,B & C,D all made their debuts in the same test match. E was the captain of one of the sides.
A - made the only 100 of his career on debut.
B - finished as a successful(?) ODI player.
C - is considered among the best in his skill.
D - is a popular all-rounder.
E - made a 100 in this match.

Clues
B - Does match analysis in TV.
C - Coaches one of the IPL teams.
D - His hands are called as buckets :lol:.
E - played for one country and captained another.

bleddy ICC.India vs SL 2008 was the first to virtual eye to review lbws..
kumble was the first bali aadu


48.5

Mendis to Kumble, OUT, Review it landed on a length, on the middle and skidded on almost straight, slight turn away, and hit Kumble on the front foot. He had pressed the front leg too much across. The ball hit the pad and then bounded off to silly point. Was it lbw or was it for pad bat catch? I am not sure about the latter but it looked pretty straight forward for a lbw decision. But the question is if the umpire had given it out pad and bat catch, can the third umpire say forget that, that was not out but he was lbw. Any way he has been given out. Lbw or catch, we are not still sure.

Hold on. Let's rewind: Kumble was given out. He didn't know for what. He went and asked the umpire and then Kumble decided to ask for the review. Replays confirmed the lbw decision, were unclear about pad and bat catch. Now what I don't know was whether the umpire had given him out caught initialy and then after review changed it to lbw. Any way, the correct decision has been made. OUT LBW




A Kumble lbw b Mendis 1 (34m 15b 0x4 0x6) SR: 6.66

Scratch it - muthian scored a half century against India I guess. (VERa yArukku dhArAla guNam varum?). Must be a bowler - Walsh? Also, Warne is the answer for same question with centuries right?

[Puliyan_Biryani]

Trueman, Walsh - Incorrect but very close guesses :clap:.

Clue: 90s Bowler.

:exactly:.


Also, Warne is the answer for same question with centuries right?
Yes indeed.

[Plum]

Ambrose? McgrathA?

[wizzy]

90s bowlera..Waqar Younis??

[Puliyan_Biryani]

Ambrose? McgrathA?
McGrath has a famous 60-odd against NZ in partnership with Gillespie. Ambrose also made a 50 very early, I think.


90s bowlera..Waqar Younis??
:clap:. Waqar Younis - Only man to make a 1000 runs (1010) without a single 50. Trueman held the record before him with 981. Full list (http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=runs;qu almax1=0;qualmin1=0;qualval1=fifty_plus;template=r esults;type=batting). Jimmy-ku vaaippu irukku :D.

Oh! Yes McG that 50 I forgot. Good one fuLi. (One doubt to Bala K - unga baashaila indha pAttai epdi pAduvInga - oh buck buck buck buckum buckum mAdappuRA...)

An easy one: Only Indian bowler to get a wicket with his first ball in ODI? Similarly in Test?

[P_R]

Test - Nilesh Kulkarni

[Puliyan_Biryani]

Test - Nilesh Kulkarni

[Puliyan_Biryani]

A took 5+ wickets in B's debut Test and ODI. A only has one other international 5-fer and B played in that ODI too. Find A and B.

any other clue :|

[Puliyan_Biryani]

idhukku epdiya kuloo kudukkaradhu :think:. Both guys are thaaru maaru pamous. Answer therinjappuram en kashtam ungalukku puriyum :D.

OK - reworded.
A took 6-fers in B's debut Test and ODI. A only has one other international 5-fer and B played in that ODI too. Find A and B.

Additional clue, if rewording doesn't make it easier - Happened in 2000s.
And another one, probably throw-away - A holds a ODI batting and bowling record for his country wrt Fastest.

[sathya_1979]

I guess many are looking for opponents and not team mates. that's a gud twist :)

[sathya_1979]

Michael Vaughan = Mike Brearly
Mike Gatting = David Gower
How?

[sathya_1979]

anybody? agila indhiya Ingerland rasigar manRa thalaivar feeyaar?

[P_R]

:oops: clue

[Plum]

Vaughan and Brear have Ashes Series wins. Weak answer - because so does Gatting and the list of England Captains without Ashes wins is possibly longer than Chanaka Welegedara's name. Long and short of it is that I don't know the answer but this was a good chance to poke at England fan(s?) :)

[sathya_1979]

clue: ashes wins and beyond!

[Plum]

Van and Bear have home Ashes series wins while Gatorade and Grover don't have. Gower doesn't have even an away Ashes win while Gatorade managed one thanks to the timing of his Ashes in 80s managing to catch the Aussies at their nadir - something Strauss would repeat in 2010. Scheduling luck is the root of all Nation vs Nation records.

[sathya_1979]

look at the keyword "ashes and BEYOND"

[Plum]

Satya, unga kELvi veRum platform dhaan - I am just using it to say what I want to :)

[Puliyan_Biryani]

Wild guess: Captains who never came back to defend the Ashes (I know Vaughan didn't) ?

[sathya_1979]

Brearley won 3 ashes - 1977, 78-79 and 81

[sathya_1979]

Here is the answer:
Vaughan and Brearley won test matches, as captain, against other nations after winning an ashes
Gower and Gatting never won a test match as captain against other nations after winning an ashes

[Plum]

If Parthiv Patel is a Cock(oops, no pun intended), Shreevats Goswami is a tiger, naman ojha is a Sun and ajay ratra is a peacock, what is Dinesh Karthik?
