Christchurch witnesses a world record
Four Sri Lankan batsmen were dismissed leg before wicket without scoring against New Zealand in the ongoing Christchurch test to provide the very first occasion of four batsmen dismissed leg before wicket without scoring in the annals of test cricket. This feat becomes more unique when it is observed that the four batsmen dismissed leg before wicket by the same bowler and the batsmen who were dismissed leg before wicket batted from number eight to number eleven
