Can you believe this !!?? Jermaine Lawson took 6 wickets for 3 runs from 6.5 overs including 4 maidens for the West Indies in the first Test against Bangladesh !!!!

The Windies won by an innings and 310 runs !!

I'm off to check this with other history.

He had played only 2 Tests before this one and taken 4/206 from 64 overs.

His 6/3 is bettered only by Ernie Toshack's 5/2 ('47/4 Cool

in Tests for five-wicket-hauls.

He took 3 wickets in 4 balls which has happened fewer times in Tests than hat-tricks.

I have never heard of him, but that's amazing!. Although remember that they are only playing Bangladesh.
Do you know what he bowls?

Yeah, cricket balls, I suspect. Soz gobbles, couldn't resist.

Lawson is a 20 year old, right arm fast bowler. He had bowled 20 balls before his first wicket. He took 3 in his 4th. over, bowled a maiden for his 5th., took another wicket in his 6th. and 2 in the 5 balls of his 7th.

And yes, it was against Bangladesh but even though they've lost 15 of their 16 Tests, they are not getting skittled all the time and other top ten bowlers are not taking 'bags' against them.

I would suggest that you are getting skittled if you've managed to lose all 20 of your wickets in 15 of 16 matches. It doesn't matter if one guy is taking them or five, your still losing them.

Well, young Jermaine took a much more realistic 4/108 from 40 overs in the Windies (296 & 3/111) win in the second Test against Bangladesh (194 & 215). Tapash Baisya took 6/117 (only 13 W.I. wickets fell) from 30.3 overs for Bangladesh.

Now he can add a Test hatty to his CV.
