Sri Lanka were 26 for 5 in their first innings against Australia in Colombo, but went on to win. Has any side ever come back from a worse position in a Test? asked Sam Clough from Australia Sri Lanka were 26 for 5 early in the third Test against Australia at the SSC in Colombo earlier this month, but then came a stand of 211 between Dinesh Chandimal and Dhananjaya de Silva. Sri Lanka finished with 355 - and went on to win comfortably, by 163 runs. There have been four worse starts in Tests by sides that eventually won the match. In Sydney in 1886-87 England were 13 for 5 (and soon 45 all out), but ended up winning a low-scoring game by 13 runs. The other recoveries are a Pakistan specialty: much more recently, in 2011-12, they were 21 for 5 against England in Dubai, but managed to win by 71 runs. Pakistan were 22 for 5 against West Indies in Dacca (now Dhaka) in 1958-59, but won by 41 runs; and against India in Kolkata in 1998-99 they recovered from 25 for 5 (and soon 26 for 6) to win by 46 runs. In Delhi in 1987-88, West Indies were 25 for 5 in their first innings yet went on to beat India by five wickets, but that was the second innings of the match. There are five further instances of a side managing to win after being 25 for 5 or worse in their second innings (the third of the match), most recently by New Zealand against India in Auckland in 2013-14. New Zealand held a first-innings lead of 301 in that match.Mohammad Amir has now played 18 Tests without taking a catch. Is this a record? asked Zara from Italy Thats a good spot, as it turns out that during the English summer Mohammad Amir broke the record for the most Tests without a catch from the start of a career. The previous shy and retiring fielder was the England opener Geoff Pullar, who played 16 matches from his debut in 1959 without taking a catch, before finally hanging on to Mushtaq Mohammad in Lahore in 1961-62. The record for the most Tests played in succession without a catch in mid-career also changed hands recently. Since catching Rangana Herath in Sydney in January 2013, the Australian fast bowler Peter Siddle has now played 24 more matches without managing another one. Another England opener, Peter Richardson, caught Australias captain Ian Johnson in his third Test, at Headingley in 1956, then didnt take another one for 23 matches, over more than five years, before he caught Indias Ramakant Desai in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1961-62. Just to show off, he held another catch in the second innings, and two more in the next game. The most Tests played in a complete career without ever taking a catch is ten, by Australias 1930s left-arm spinner Chuck Fleetwood-Smith, and two more recent bowlers in Sri Lankas Jayananda Warnaweera and Abey Kuruvilla of India.Tillakaratne Dilshan opened the batting and the bowling in Sri Lankas ODI against Australia in Colombo the other day. How many people have done this? asked Sampath de Silva from Sri Lanka That double by Tillakaratne Dilshan at the Premadasa in Colombo last week was actually the 13th time he had opened both the batting and bowling in a one-day international, all since 2010-11. The only others to have done this for Sri Lanka are Chandika Hathurusingha and Ravi Ratnayeke (twice each). The first man to do it was Frasat Ali, in all three of East Africas matches at the inaugural World Cup in England in 1975. The person who managed it most often was Indias Manoj Prabhakar - 45 times - while Neil Johnson of Zimbabwe did it on 25 occasions. Mohammad Hafeez of Pakistan has also done both jobs 13 times. Was the game in Florida the other day the highest-scoring T20I of all? asked Mukul Rakesh from India That run-soaked match in Lauderhill at the weekend - where India fell just one short of West Indies huge total of 245 - did indeed establish a new aggregate record for a T20 international. A total of 489 runs were scored, at more than 12 runs per over throughout. (I hope no watching Americans dared say that cricket is boring after that!) The previous highest of 467 came in the game in Johannesburg in January 2015 in which West Indies (236 for 6) overhauled South Africas 231 with four balls to spare. There have so far been 14 other T20Is that have featured 400 or more runs.Pakistans opener Shan Masood was born in Kuwait. Is he the only Test cricketer who was born in the Middle East? asked Riazuddin from Afghanistan Shan Masood was actually the third Test cricketer to have been born in Kuwait, following slow left-armer Shakil Ahmed, who played once for Pakistan against Australia in Lahore in 1998-99 (he took four wickets, including both Waugh twins, in a draw), and Tanvir Ahmed, who collected 17 wickets in five Tests for them between 2010-11 and 2012-13. Tanvir took 6 for 120 - including the first four wickets of the match - on debut against South Africa in Abu Dhabi in November 2010. The only other Test player born in a region usually thought of as the Middle East is the offspinner John Traicos who, although he played for South Africa and Zimbabwe, was actually born in Egypt.Apparently theres a man who played for England, New Zealand and West Indies. Who was this? asked Terry Knight from England No one has played for three countries in official international cricket. The Trinidad-born wicketkeeper Sammy Guillen did play Tests for West Indies and New Zealand, but never for England. I suspect your question is referring to someone who played for representative teams in those three countries, but not in official internationals - and there is a man who fits the bill. Sydney Smith, an allrounder who was also born in Trinidad, represented West Indies in pre-Test days - he was a star of their tour of England in 1906, which led to an offer to play for Northamptonshire. During a successful stint there, he played for an England XI against the 1912 Australian tourists, and also played for the Gentlemen of England. Had there been more Tests played around this time, Smith might have come into consideration for an England place. After the First World War, Smith moved to New Zealand, where he did well for Auckland. In 1920-21 he played two matches for New Zealand against an Australian representative side, and two years later played for New Zealand against an MCC touring team. Unfortunately for Smith, though, neither West Indies nor New Zealand had Test status when he was at his peak.Send in your questions using our feedback form.Air Max Baratas .

PAUL, Minn. -- A bounce went the right way at a key time for Mikael Granlund and the Minnesota Wild.Granlund scored with 44.5 seconds left, Devan Dubnyk stopped 25 shots for his league-leading fourth shutout, and the Wild beat the Boston Bruins 1-0 Thursday night.Granlund took a pass from Jonas Brodin circled below the end line and came out to the right of Tuukka Rask. His centering pass went off Adam McQuaid then off Rask and into the Boston net.Thats why I always pass, joked Granlund, who missed an open net in the second period.Dubnyk has had to carry the Wild lately as Minnesotas offense has mustered just 10 goals in its past seven games, yet won three. He has allowed nine goals in his last nine games, stopping 274 of 283 shots in that span to account for a .965 save percentage. For the season, his goals-against average (1.48) and save percentage (.952) are league bests.Its not my job to score. Its my job to work with the guys and defend. I have zero complaints with how the guys have been defending for me and playing, Dubnyk said. I got no question in here that these guys can put the puck in the net. Sometimes it takes something like that to turn it around.Minnesota has allowed an NHL-low 29 total goals in 16 games this season, including 10 in its last nine games, dating back to a 5-0 shutout Oct. 25 in Boston.Dubnyk kept the game scoreless 6 minutes into the third coming out of the crease and diving to poke the puck away from Matt Beleskey, who was in alone after a turnover by Matt Dumba.Rask stopped 28 shots. He is 4-1-0 in his past five games, with a 0.80 goals-against average and .947 save percentage.His best save came late in the second, getting his glove up quick to stifle Jason Pominville, who was alone in front and had a second to move the puck to his forehand.Hes been unbeelievable, carrying us and bailing us out when we made mistakes, David Backes said.dddddddddddd. We need to find a way to beat the other goaltender.Boston has scored four goals in its last three games.An undisclosed injury has kept Bruins leading-scorer David Pastrnak, who has 10 goals and 14 points in 14 games, out of the past two practices. Coach Claude Julien said the right wing is day to day. Riley Nash played on the top line with Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron.After an evenly played opening period featuring stellar stops on both ends, and Minnesota controlling the first 14 minutes of the second, Boston thought it took a 1-0 lead when a shot from Torrey Krug deflected off the skate of Backes and behind Dubnyk with 5:30 to play in the frame. However, after a lengthy video review it was ruled the Bruins were offside entering the zone.Pardon my language but the (bad) bounces were 1-1 and ours was just an offside and theirs was a goal, Rask said. But after two periods when its 0-0 you feel like its gonna be some kind of breakdown or lucky bounce and thats what happened.Game notesBoston was scoreless on two power plays and is 4 for 60 all-time against the Wild. ...
