Was going thru Cricinfo stats. Stumbled across something really amazing!
Can you believe that Muttiah Muralitharan is only bowler to take over a 100 wickets at one ground?? Infact, the top three names of any bowler taking maximum wickets on a single cricket ground is Murali again! LOL. That's what we call the best of beating the minnows in their own backyard.
Quote: "Muttiah Muralitharan is the only bowler to have taken 100 wickets at a single ground, with 143 at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo and 108 at Kandy's Asgiriya Stadium. And he also lies third on this list with 87 at Galle."
Q : Who is Victor Fuller Eberle?
A: His claim to fame is to have dropped probably the most expensive catch in cricket history: as the youngest player (at 11) in a junior house match at Bristol's Clifton College in June 1899, he dropped the 13-year-old AEJ Collins, who went on to score 628 not out, the highest score known in any form of organised cricket. The 1975 Wisden carried a brief obituary of Eberle, which says he dropped Collins at 20, so his lapse would have cost 608 runs.
