Playing for Ireland against England yesterday Tim Murtagh produced a master class or seam bowling to record figures of 1-29 in 9 overs. To listen to the commentary team revealed just how respected Tim is in the first class game. Only one wicket but they don't come much bigger than Root for a duck.
Apparently Tim also holds a world test batting record so Dan Norcross revealed at the annual dinner. Tim is the only no 11 to score over 25 in both innings of a test match in the history of the game.
