Annemarie Tanke en Cricinfo

Bericht geplaatst op 15-06-2010

Bijzondere gebeurtenissen in international cricketland zijn er ontelbaar. Stel een vraag in "Ask Steven" en hij geeft je antwoord. Annemarie geeft zelf antwoord op de vraag........

And there's an addition to last week's question about the man run out in both innings of his Test debut, from Annemarie Tanke from the Netherlands:
"I think I can better the answer you came up with: I got run out for a duck in both innings of the one and only Test I ever played! Pretty awful stuff ..." And it's true: poor Annemarie Tanke was run out for a duck in both innings of her first Test - the only official one ever played by the Netherlands' women's team - against South Africa in Rotterdam in July 2007. There are 10 instances of a player being run out in both innings of a women's Test - but this is the only one to involve a pair, and only the third time on debut (it also happened to the Australian pair of Joyce Dalton in 1957-58 and Ruth Buckstein in 1987). Annemarie did last for 51 balls in her runless first innings, but says overall it was "an experience to forget". However, she adds: "I'm definitely more proud of the stat that I am the only Dutch women's player with both a five-wicket haul and a fifty in one-day internationals!" She scored 61 against West Indies in Utrecht in 2008, and took 5 for 40 against Ireland in Deventer the previous year. It's always great to hear direct from an international player, so thanks to Annemarie for getting in touch - and for owning up!
