Who's the oldest bowler to take a five-for in a Test?
And where does Jimmy Anderson stand on that list?
This notable batting feat was first performed by the great Australian opener Arthur Morris, with 148 and 111 for New South Wales against Queensland in Sydney in 1940-41. He was followed by the future Indian captain Nari Contractor, who started his first-class career with 152 and 102 not out for Gujarat in Baroda in 1952-53. Aamer Malik, who later played a few Tests for Pakistan, began with 132 not out and 110 for Lahore City against Railways in Lahore in 1979-80.
That's a good spot, as all 11 England players did indeed take a catch or a wicket (or both) in Australia's first innings in the first Ashes Test at the Gabba last December. This had happened only twice before in Test history. The first instance came in Kingston in 2000-01, when all 11 South Africans featured on the card in West Indies' second innings (Gary Kirsten completed the set when he caught the last man, Courtney Walsh). And South Africa were at it again in Cape Town in 2009-10, with all 11 players getting a mention as England clung on for a draw at 296 for 9.
Jimmy Anderson currently lies 21st on this particular list: he was 13 days past his 39th birthday when he took 5 for 62 against India at Lord's last August.
Four men have had more than 200 Test innings without ever being out stumped - and three of them are current England players. Jimmy Anderson has so far had 239 innings, Stuart Broad 223, and Joe Root 210. But they have to give best - for the time being at least - to Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene, who batted 252 times in Tests, and was never stumped.
Ryan ten Doeschate played 33 ODIs for Netherlands, and finished with a batting average of 67.00. That's currently the second-highest average for anyone who has had more than 20 innings, as this list shows. The only man above him at the moment is the South African Rassie van der Dussen, who currently averages 74.52, from 26 innings.
