    Trivia

    Guy James Whittall
    • Whittall made his Test debut on the 1 December 1993 against Pakistan in the Defence Housing Authority Stadium.
    • Zimbabwe would go on to lose the game by 131 runs and Whittall contributed an innings of 33 and the wicket of Basit Ali.
    • He would not have to wait long to make his mark, with his maiden Test century coming in just his 6th Test.
    • At Harare Sports Club in February 1995, Whittall scored an unbeaten 113 to help his side to a historic first-ever Test victory, against the Pakistanis.
    • Two years later he wrote his name into the record books with an unbeaten 203 at Queens Sports Club against New Zealand.
    • Whittall was well short of his double ton when the number 11 Everton Matambanadzo came to bat.
    • The New Zealanders did their bit to help, giving field placings designed to give easy singles thus giving Matambanadzo the strike.
    • The milestone eventually came with a boundary through the slips.
    • Against the same opponents in September 2002, Whittall fell just short of registering another double hundred.
    • He finished unbeaten on 188 in controversial circumstances.
