Wanted to know who is the first player to score 100 runs and 10 wickets in the same test match.

The first person to score 100 runs and 10 wickets was Alan Davidson. He scored 44 & 80 and took 11 wickets in the Tied Test between Australia & West Indies in 1960-61. See scorecard here.

The first to score a century and take 10 wickets was Ian Botham of England against India at Bombay in 1979-80 - 114 runs and 13 wickets Scorecard

If you are not specific about men's cricket, Betty Wilson got there before the guys. She score 12 & 100 and took 11 wickets at Melbourne in 1957-58 Scorecard.

So which England players have played in the most Tests? A simple and reasonable cricket question that is not easy to answer using Wikipedia. Why? Gmackematix (talk) 01:38, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

J J Ferris

The section Bowling record: Best career average states that JJ Ferris has the second best aveage but he does not appear in the table. Tigerboy1966 05:42, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like he only played one Test for England; only his record for the team should be included in the list on this page. His aggregate in all his Tests gains him a place on the overall list. I've not checked his figures for that match, but he won't have bowled enough deliveries in it to qualify. Spike 'em (talk) 06:16, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
