different bowlers took precisely two wickets each (bowling side is
listed first).

Aus v Eng Sydney(4) 1882-83 2nd inn
Eng v Ind Delhi 1981-82 only inn
SAf v Pak Faisalabad 1997-98 1st inn
SAf v Pak Durban 2002-03 2nd inn

Thanks Aslam.

Since you are in generous mood (I guess it had to do with the Colts making
it, while my Dolphins going defenseless as usual), can you please help me
out with two more sets of stats?

The most futile effort by a bowler in terms of runs in a test.
The most futile effort by a bowler in terms of runs/wicket in a test.

Thanks. May your Colts go far :-)

Thanks, that was what I was looking at, most runs given away in a match.

I now realize the ambiguity in my question, but between this and the next
answer, I have what I was looking for.

Thanks, again.
