Boucher sets world record

Cape Town - Mark Boucher has helped himself to another world record by becoming the only wicketkeeper to score a Test match half-century and make six dismissals in an innings in the same match for the second time.

He provided the second instance this past weekend, having previously accomplished the feat against Pakistan at St. George’s in 1998 in what was only his fourth Test match.

The other players to have achieved the feat on one occasion are Denis Lindsay of South Africa, Matt Prior of England and MS Dhoni of India.
