Shoaib Bashir becomes the second England spin bowler to capture six or more wickets in a test innings at Nottingham after 120 years
Shoaib Bashir of England captured six wickets conceding 81 runs against Zimbabwe in the third innings of the just concluded test at Nottingham to provide the second occasion of a England spin bowler capturing six or more wickets in a test innings at Nottingham. BJT Bosanquet was the other England spin bowler to capture six or more wickets in a test innings at Nottingham. He returned with figures of 8 for 107 in May 1905. The interval between the feats of BJT Bosanquet and Shoaib Bashir is a mind boggling 120 years!!!!!!!!!

Some interesting notes on VV Kumar’s five for 64 on test debut against Pakistan in Feb 1961
VV Kumar is one of the ten Indian bowlers who have captured five or more wickets in an innings on test debut as on date. His five for 64 against Pakistan at Delhi in Feb 1961 makes him the second Indian bowler to achieve the feat. The first was M Nissar who had returned with figures of five for 83 against England in June 1932, the first ever test played by India. The interval between the feats of M Nissar and VV Kumar is 29 years 05 months and 13 days.
