@Hooroo said in Black Caps v Pakistan:
How many people have a 200 and a 10wb? Gillespie & Kallis? Sobers?
The list might be smaller than we think. Neither Sobers, Kallis or Gillespie had a 10 wb.

Well work today is going to suck without the cricket commentary in the background!
Doesn't the Aussie v India test start today at the SCG?
You're probably right, but yea, nah.
I'll probably check in on the score from time to time, but that's about the limit of my interest in games that the BC's aren't playing.I love Aussie cricket. It filled a hole between the 80's and the Hesson/McCullum era

I quite like this India team. Bumrah is a gun and Ashwin is a master tactician with the ball.

@Hooroo Sadly, Nathan was restricted from bowling too many of his dangerous medium pacers.
@Snowy There could be others but none of usual suspects for all-rounders accomplished this feat.

Wasim Akram is in the 200/10 club too
Jason Holder does, Stokes doesn't but might get a 10fer yet.

@gt12 Holy shit, Mankad. One of the most famous names in cricket (for different reasons).
Unfairly maligned I think, nothing wrong with a mankad in my book. Up to the non striker to be timing his backing up properly.

The other thing to consider is that a double requires one massive effort in a single innings, whereas 10fers (almost always) require sustained excellence over 2 innings.

A double century is a set standard though. It usually means you have batted a day and a half, seen of one or two new balls and taken fresh spells from all the oppositions best bowlers without making an error (or in the case of Pakistan having them drop you five times on the way).
10fers vary so much in quality between the mix of tail enders, game situation etc. 10fers are more a function of luck and opportunity - which is why you have so many seriously average spin bowlers on that list with 10fers like Krezja, Steve O'Keefe, Craig, Michael Bevan, Allan Border (vs 1980s West Indies of all teams) etc
Jamieson's 10fer stood out because he gutted their top order twice - most 10fers rely on clearing the tail at least once if not twice.
