Wow !! I haven't heard of this match at all.

[sivank]

It was at a match played in 1971 between Australia and Rest of the World XI.

Gavaskar and Engineer opened for the W XI.

W XI was bundled for a paltry 59. Lillee took 8 wickets for 29 runs. W XI was asked to follow on and lost its first wicket of Engineer for 4 runs as the score was 9, all in the first session. So Farouk Engineer has the distinction of getting out twice in one session
