Out twice on a single day

Rajneesh Gupta | December 20, 2004 11:37 IST

The third day of Chittagong Test saw some extraordinary cricket with Bangladesh batsmen producing a grand show of counter attack. 397 runs were scored in only 86.3 overs at a run-rate of 4.58!

However in doing so Bangladesh lost 16 wickets in the day and were staring at innings defeat when play had to be stopped due to bad light. Five Bangladesh batsmen - Aftab Ahmed, Mohammad Rafique, Habibul Bashar, Manjural Islam Rana and Khaled Mashud -- suffered the ignominy of getting out twice on a single day. Manjural Islam Rana, infact, joined the select band of cricketers who got a pair on the same day.

Getting five batsmen out twice on the same day is no mean achievement. There has been only one better performance for India in its history of 382 Tests. Six Pakistani batsmen were dismissed twice on the third day of Delhi Test in 1952-53, which was also Pakistan's first ever Test match.

Interestingly the world record in this category is held by India. Nine Indian batsmen were dismissed twice on the third day of Old Trafford Test against England in 1952.

The accompanying table lists the instances of most batsmen getting out twice on the same day in a Test against India:
