(1960) on the computer, for submission to Cricinfo, when I noticed that
the scorecard I have (from the Wisden Illustrated History of Test Cricket)
has bowling figures for the Aus 2nd innings that don't "add up".
Here are the figures it lists:
O M R W
Hall 17.7 3 65 5
Worrell 16 3 41 1
Sobers 8 0 30 0
Valentine 10 4 29 0
Ramadhin 17 3 57 1
Total runs conceded = 222. There were 14 extras (b2,lb9,nb3), and the
Aus total was 232. Since this was long before they started charging bowlers
with no balls and wides, some bowler (or bowlers) had a total of 4 runs
too many against his name.
If anyone reading this has handy access to the scorecard of this Test, could
you please post the required corrections to the above figures?
