What the ...?

What are they from.

― Kiwi in Oz, Wednesday, 7 January 2004 23:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I suppose I'd better put a Steve Waugh connection in.

In the match those letters/numbers are relevant to, Steve made 120 runs without losing his wicket.

― Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 23:59 (twenty-two years ago)

PDF is Phil DeFraitis
DM is Devon Malcolm
DG is Darren Gough

the numbers are the runs they went for in that innings?

― Cleavy, Thursday, 8 January 2004 00:14 (twenty-two years ago)

First bit right, second bit wrong.

RS 1

RR 6
MG 32
JK 300

― Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Thursday, 8 January 2004 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

PW 356
CW 491

― Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Thursday, 8 January 2004 00:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Runs they went for in the match.

But I have no idea what the other letters/numbers are.
Do they relate to the same game?

― Poseiden (Poseiden), Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:26 (twenty-two years ago)

the number they were given when they debuted for their country?

― cleavy, Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:35 (twenty-two years ago)

CW 491
There is no 492 yet.

― Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Isn't that the number of wickets Courtney Walsh has?

― Poseiden (Poseiden), Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Erm no, it is the number Warne has...

― Poseiden (Poseiden), Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Poseidon, you're getting warmer, you've just entered the ball park...

― Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm thinking that the 300/356/491 relate to Warne

Did he take his 300th wicket in this match,
His player number is 356 and he now has 491 wickets?

― Poseiden (Poseiden), Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Number of balls that those players have faced from Warne??

― Kiwi in Oz, Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:47 (twenty-two years ago)

All the numbers and sets of initials relate in the same way to Warne.

PW is Paul Wiseman, that very badly named Kiwi spinner.

JK is Jacques Kallis.

― Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Devon Malcolm would not have faced 154 balls total from any half a dozen Test bowlers combined in his life.

― Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:51 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, they are all his test victims.
Kallis his 300th, Wiseman his 356th, Courtney Walsh his latest.

Defratis/Gough/Malcom were his hattrick in Melbourne.

― Poseiden (Poseiden), Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:51 (twenty-two years ago)

The others:
1 Robin Smith/Ravi Sharstri
32 Mike Gatting

― Poseiden (Poseiden), Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:52 (twenty-two years ago)

They were Warne's number x test victim.

EG - Wiseman - Victim 356

― Kiwi in Oz, Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:52 (twenty-two years ago)

6 RR- Richie Rich?

― Poseiden (Poseiden), Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:53 (twenty-two years ago)

WRONG!!!

C White was his latest victim.

― Kiwi in Oz, Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:53 (twenty-two years ago)

At last Posieden! Well done.

Except CW is Craig White.

MG was the Gatting ball, RR Richie Richardson in Melbourne, RS Ravi Shastri (his first wicket, in Syd Jan 92).

― Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I apologise for my trivia crapness.
Thanks Fred.

'I'm thinking that the 300/356/491 relate to Warne

Pos, we should all know who Australian player no 356 is (it's not Brendan Julien).

― Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Thursday, 8 January 2004 02:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I just thought the number looked/sounded familiar...

Oh, it's our favourite opener(!)

― Poseiden (Poseiden), Thursday, 8 January 2004 02:07 (twenty-two years ago)

two months pass...

HT 500!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Warnie!!!

― Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Friday, 12 March 2004 07:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Magoo and Kasprowicz achieved their own bowling milestones in this last Test also.

― pieman (pieman), Sunday, 14 March 2004 06:59 (twenty-one years ago)

You mean Magoo failed to have 100 taken off him in the 2nd innings? Maybe he's improving.
