StatsRock Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Chatfield - lifethreatening injury on debut makes it easy. The event you're referring is Chetan Sharma's hattrick though Chatfield's 21 no v Pak 1984-85 was just as popularly publicized on NZ TV. It should be my turn next.
StatsRock Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I was a well known batsman in the 80s and 90s. I was initially labelled a flat track bully but on a ground that is known for notorious amounts of swing, I have almost 3 test hundreds(one match winning) and a career average of 109(on this particular ground). And they merely called me a good player of spin! I can boast of test hundreds against the best bowlers, fast and slow, of my time. My last test was on a ground where I am remembered for a match winning one day knock I played. In a particularly famous Test, a guy in the crowd held up a banner asking me to repair his car!

StatsRock Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Sorry guys, stupid issue with my new ISP so couldnt login from home. ok more clues: My country had never won an away series in this country before. In only my 2nd test innings in this country, played on a deadly swinging paradise, I scored a Test winning 99 which helped my team win the series. On my next visit to this country, I scored near hundreds on the same ground but my team lost. I pretty much have hundreds against a whole lot of bowlers with 300+ wickets. However I am now remembered for largely controversial reasons.

StatsRock Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 :two_thumbs_up: The exact banner was ' Hey Malik, Can you fix my Toyota?'. I didnt mention this as the word Fix is a dead giveaway. This was at Brisbane 1995 Test after Malik alleged about May/Waugh. 99 at Leeds 87 82 and 84* at Leeds 92 55 at Leeds 96
