Kevan James
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kevan David James (March 18, 1961) in Lambeth, London, was an English first class cricketer for 19 years. He spent most of his career with Hampshire whom he won the NatWest Trophy and Benson & Hedges Cup with in the early 90's.
A middle-order batsman and left-arm seam bowler, he toured Australia and West Indies with Young England before forging a successful career with Hampshire. He also played some first-class cricket for Wellington in New Zealand. James is perhaps best known for a game against the Indians in 1996 when he took a record equaling four wickets in four balls, and followed it up with a hundred later in the match. These Indian wickets included Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. The Cricinfo report from the match claimed that no-one in the history of cricket had taken four wickets in four balls and scored a hundred in the same game. [1] [2]
