Brad Haddin finished with six dismissals
Brad Haddin on Thursday, equalled the record for most dismissals in a Test innings by an Australian wicket-keeper during India's first innings in the second Test match played at Gabba.
Haddin finished with six scalps, all of them caught behind when India were bowled out in 109.4 overs at lunch on the second day of the Test.
Haddin now finds himself in the elite group of Wally Grout, who snared six at Wanderers Stadium in the 1957-58 series against South Africa, Rod Marsh (versus England in Brisbane, 1982-83) and Ian Healy (versus England at Edgbaston, 1997).
Haddin though, had a chance to become the outright record holder, but he failed to latch on to a tough chance from Varun Arun off Nathan Lyon.
The overall Test record for most dismissals in an innings by a wicket-keeper is seven, held by Pakistan's Wasim Bari (1978-79), England's Robert Taylor (1979-80), Ian Smith of New Zealand (1990-91) and Ridley Jacobs of West Indies (2000-01).
By virtue of those six scalps, Haddin (246) leapfrogged Alec Stewart (241) to move into ninth spot on the list of most Test dismissals by a wicket-keeper.
