Mark Boucher
Mark Boucher could possibly have the best career bowling analysis in Test cricket history. In the seemingly rather dull draw between South Africa and the West Indies that has just fiished in Antigua, he had the following bowling analysis:
8 balls - 1 wicket for 6 runs, Avge 6.00
To explain, South Africa batted first and scored 588-6 dec (de Villiers 114, Smith 126, Kallis 147, Prince 131). The West Indies then scored 747 all out (Gayle 317, Sarwan 127, Chanderpaul 127, Bravo 107, Lara only 4), and South Africa 127-1.
All South Africa's players bowled in the West Indies' innings, with Gibbs and Boucher bowling for the first time in Test cricket.
The ground is the same one on which Lara twice made enormous scores against England (i.e., 375 and 400 not out in 1993/4 and 2003/4 respectively).
