Daily Question #79

A long overdue cricket question. The following pic shows the members of an elite club. The ODI members are shown below their Test counterparts. So, each Test-ODI pair (of the total 8 pairs) shares a unique connection that makes them members of the club. The last person on the Test list has no ODI counterpart (so far). Also, there can only be 5 more additions to this club. What's this club all about?

Cracked only by Rithwik and aamaadmi!! Brilliant!

Answer : List of players who have been the first to be dismissed via a particular mode of dismissal

MODE - Test, ODI
CAUGHT - Tom Horan, Geoffrey Boycott
LBW - Harry Jupp, Doug Walters
RUNOUT - Dave W Gregory, Basil D'Oliveira
STUMPED - Alfred Shaw, Ian Chappell
HITWICKET - George J Bonnor, Roy Fredericks
OBSTRUCTING THE FIELD - Len Hutton, Rameez Raja
HANDLED THE BALL - Russell Endean, Mohinder Amarnath
BOWLED - Nat Thompson, Ray Illingworth
RETIRED OUT - Marvan Atapattu, nil

There are still no instances of TIMED OUT, HITTING THE BALL TWICE in Tests and ODIs.

    First people to be dismissed by the 10 possible ways to get out in tests/ODI.
    Atapattu got retired out which i think will not be done in ODI. I guess Timed Out is the missing 10th one in the list.
