Well done Bill, he also played in a winning world cup side. he now joins the files of whatver happpend to!

a good get Bill


yr up!
 
He was the youngest to get a hundred wickets but was he actually the fastest by matches?

He played two games in the world cup campaign but did not play in the final. Injured his shoulder at 23 and that was his career.

Herb Sutcliffe (12) took one less innings than the Don to reach a thousand runs in test matches. Sutcliffe also held the record for the least time to 1000 runs as well. That record has only been broken twice, who holds it now?
 
Changed the question Bill ;D

What does 'least time' mean? Is it as in duration of time, say in years/months?
 
Seeing as last weekend was FA Cup semi-final weekend:

In what year was the highest aggregate of goals recorded over the two semi-final ties? (And how many?)
 
Ready said:
Wrong number of goals.

Bit stiff to count replay goals in a question about semi-final weekend. I will conceed the question stipulates semi-final Ties.
 
Yes but the tie is not completed until any and all replays (before 1991/92 it was unlimited replays until one team or the other won the game in ninety minutes) are played out.

1990
Villa Park      Liverpool 3 Crystal Palace 4
Maine Road  Manchester United 3 Oldham Athletic 3
Maine Road Manchester United 2 Oldham Athletic 1

Total 16, MJ has the floor.
