    [note - started a new thread. for some reason the option of changing a thread title has been removed, so the title of the previous one got stuck]


    the first test between india and south africa in kolkata that started on the 14th (nov) and finished on the 16th went as follows:

    south africa 1st inns 159 (markram 13, bumrah 5/27)

    india 1st inns 189 (rahul 39, harmer 4/30)

    sa 2nd 153 (bavuma 55no, jadeja 4/50)

    ind 2nd 93 (sundar 31, harmer 4/21)

    south africa won by 30 runs


    what was unusual:
    all 40 wickets fell without either team reaching 200.

    this is only the twelfth time this has happened in test cricket

    it is the first occurrence since march 1959

    it happened four times in the 1950s but only five times in the 20th century. the other was in 1907

    it happened once in the 1890s and five times in the 1880s..
