Michael Clarke Question of the Day

Yesterday's question attracted a lot of responses, including Stani starting his own competition within my competition. Yes, I saw that.

Anyway, as I said in the post, anyone can win. So everyone won. I know, I'm a cheat. Can't help it.

Today's QotD is one about numbers and figures:

Who was captaining the side against which Michael Clarke took 5 or more wickets in a single match? Also state the ground at which this occurred.

There you go, a nice statistical one to please experts of that sort. Ryan Campbell knows the answer to this one.

    Its happened in 2 matches Amy,

    Against India in a test match at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. India's captain was Rahul Dravid.

    Clarke took 6-9.

    Against Sri Lanka in an ODI at Dambulla. Lanka's captain was Atapattu.

    Clarke took 5-35.

    Since u didn't specify what sort of match, he may have done so at the domestic / first class levels as well.. but that I'm not aware about.

    He got 6/9 in a test at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai in 2004. Captain was Dravid.

    U may still be able to win if u can find a first class match in which he took 5 or more wickets..

    Looks like Q took out this one. Sorry, Esra, he really is a zombie.

    I had the India series in mind when I wrote the question but even the ODI against SL will do.

    Bring it on!

    Though u do realise that even if u were 8 minutes early, u wud have just got the India game, while I would have come out with both answers...

    Since Amy did not specify it was a test match, I would have still won! ha!

    :-)

    This is true but I'd use my super powers and make sure Amy gave me the win. I have many super talents Q don't make me use them! :)
