India's promising medium-pace bowler Irfan Pathan who is going great guns in international cricket over a period of last one year, has achieved a milestone that has gone unnoticed. Until now, that is!

It gives an idea of his accuracy over line and length. Only five other bowlers in the 125 year-old history of test cricket have the distinction of claiming seven or more lbws in a Test match. Incidentally , all of them have achieved the feat in the last two-and-a-half decades.
