Test #1835 Records : England retains the John Wisden Trophy

Test #1835 West Indies in England 2007 (3rd Test) at Old Trafford, Manchester.

An amazing return catch by England's latest bowling sensation Monty Panesar to dismiss debutant Sammy proved out to be the turning point of the West Indies chase for a record total for a win in the third test match played at Old Trafford. It not only changed the whole complexion of the contest but also left the subsequent happenings as a matter of academic interest. Had Sammy stayed at the wicket for another hour West Indies could have cruised to a miraculous victory and Sammy would have a made a dream all-rounder debut. But Panesar's crucial breakthrough took all the tension out of Michael Vaughan's mind and England clinched a series winning test victory at Old Trafford by 60 runs. Panesar for his first 10fer deservedly won the Man of the Match award.

A Test Match which had several statistical highlights like batsmen from opposing sides (Alastair Cook and Shivnarine Chanderpaul) hitting a century and a in the same test, Darren Sammy claiming seven wickets in an innings on test debut, Harmison crossing the 200 wicket milestone in test career and Monty Panesar ending a 10 year long period of an English spinner going without a 10-wicket haul in a test match, more than anything else the total number of extras conceded by a both teams came within six sundries of and all time record. Though
West Indies' fourth innings total was the highest in the test match they ended up losing the match like they did against India just a year back thus providing tenth such instance.

Here are the details of the statistical highlights of the test match #1835:

Darren Sammy's second innings haul of 7 for 66 provides the 124th occasion of a test debutant claiming 5 or more wickets in an innings. He becomes the 9th West Indian to do so. Following is the list of all the instances of a player returning with five wicket haul in an innings on Test Debut in chronological order.
