Any instance when two batsmen each had a runner? [Resolved]

[Uzzy]

This got me thinking and to my knowledge i cant think of any but maybe someone here knows.

Must have been a sight if there ever was one.

[TAK]

god knows but the mental picture is hillarious

[kinghaider_nodoubt]

lol...yeh....that would be bare funny

[kasoo10]

I think I have seen it. Not sure if it was Miandad and Salim Malik, again not sure who were the runners.

No idea - but about 6 years ago, I had to act as runner for 1 of our batsman. (I was the only wkt to fall) - I lasted about 2 overs before retiring as runner!

Well embarrasing!

Enough about my 'Inzi-esque' running prowess.

Has this ever ocurred. My bet is that it has, and that Pak were the team involved

[aamir_riaz]

As Far as My Cricketing Expertise serves me I think that is not allowed!!! You cant have two runners running at the same time!!!

[Oxy]

We should 'Ask Bearders' on BBC TMS.

[aamir_riaz]

Good Idea!! Is the response spontaneous or it takes a bitr of time

Ive never asked him anything - cannot stand the man!

[Amir]

It has happened, I remember Steven Lynch once discussing iton one of his articles on CricInfo...

[TAK]

i'm pretty sure pak have done an oxy and had a runner replaced due to injury?

[Savak]

It has happened once seriously. It was after the 2003 WC when Australia toured West Indies. It was the first test match in the WI 2nd innings when Both Ridley Jacobs and Shivarine Chanderpaul got injured during the match. So they were both at the crease and they both needed runners. I guess this was the only time it happened.

Gold Medal to Savak!

Chanderpaul and Ridley Jacobs both needed runners because they were injured in the first innings.

It was reckoned to be the first time in Test history that four batsmen had been on the field of play at one time.

[ex-opener]

Sounds very dubious ....how certain are you of this actually happening in a test match

[infamous9383]

good job savak

[Oxy]

Although believe me - one day, Pak will create history when they also have 2 runners on the pitch - and 1 gets run out!

and the batsmen having runners would be Mohommad Yousaf and Inzimam ul Haq.

[HAFRIDI]
