NEWS

Note: Due to server problems, cgi-bin routines are still not operational. Every attempt is being made to address the problem, and I hope to have them up and running by mid-week.

As India win back the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, off-spinner Harbhajan Singh takes his 300th Test wicket, and Sachin Tendulkar becomes the first to score 40 Test centuries.

However it was the efforts of Jason Krejza that have really left statisticians salivating: 8th best innings analysis on debut and best by an Aussie since Bob Massie 36 years ago (List), 4th best match analysis on debut (List). On the other side of the ledger, 2nd most runs conceded in a Test match - the first time in nearly 80 years that over 300 runs have been conceded by one bowler in a match (List).
