    The Australian press repeatedly reported McGrath's return as the most
economical ten wicket haul in history - which surprised me.

    Technically speaking, this is correct.  Of the bowlers who took exactly
ten in the match, it was the most economical.  Of course, most of us think
of a ten wicket haul as ten wickets or more in a match.

    That next?  The fastest hundred in history being disqualified because
the three-figure shot took the batsman to 103?  Seriously...

This doesn't look entirely right.

It would be interesting to know, for instance, why England were playing
a Test match against England, which England won, in 1912 at The Oval.

Cheers,

because they figured it'd be better competition than the Australians
minus the big 6 or South Africa?

Along with that England V England match in 1889, which for some reason was
played in Cape Town. It was obviously successful, as it was followed by a
similar exercise in Port Elizabeth in 1896.  But i'm told that wasn't as good a
match as that thriller in Wellington in 1995, where the might of the West
Indies took on the might of the West Indies. I'm told that in that game, Walsh
was c & b by himself, a first in tests.

Why were they bowling at their own team? So we're counting new sessions now, are we?

And indeed against themselves in Cape Town....

...and Port Elizabeth.

No wonder there are so many English instances in!!!
