Northants 19-5 now

[Villan For Life]

Chaminda Vaas was the last person to do it.

62-1 12 overs at OT

Shantry took the next 3 wkts to fall at Worcester for only 5 runs as well

Wasn't Vaas also the first person to do it in an international? I'm sure I read that somewhere at the time.

[Bernie]

Northants now 69-7. Worcs are well capable of losing this though!

[PGW]

Yes it was an international....was it v Bangladesh not sure really.

Just seen it on BBC website it was against Bangladesh in 2003 World Cup he even took a 4th wkt in the same over.
