Roston Chase took eight wickets in the second innings of the first Test against England
but did not take another in the series.
Is this some sort of record? asked Jerry Powell from Barbados
West Indian offspinner Roston Chase took 8 for 60 in the second innings of the first Test against England
in Bridgetown last month, but no other wickets in the rest of the series
in which his combined figures were 0 for 163.
This performance is indeed unique.

Bernard Bosanquet, the man credited with the invention of the Googly
took nine in the 1905 Ashes
including 8 for 107 at Trent Bridge.

There were 38 wides during the third Test between West Indies and England. What's the record?
asked Victor Dubuisson from Jamaica
That total of 38 runs from wides during the recent match in St Lucia was actually the highest number in any Test.
The previous record was 34, in the match between West Indies and Australia in Bridgetown in 2008 !
