17 December - Shane Warne takes his 86th Test wicket for the year, dismissing Ashwell Prince lbw, and breaks Dennis Lillee's record of most Test wickets in a single year, set in 1981.
With the bat he scored 2 runs before being dismissed LBW by Rubel Hossain.
Her bowling was also used in the match, and she claimed two wickets in the second innings, dismissing Katherine Smith caught and bowled, and trapping Ruth Westbrook leg before wicket.
With the ball he took his solitary first-class wicket when he had Cambridge captain Rob Andrew (who was to gain much greater fame in rugby union) lbw for 2.
He made headlines in 2006, when he had to stand in for fellow umpire Guy Randall-Johnson, when he walked out of a Minor Counties Championship match after being on the receiving end of abuse from Berkshire players after he gave Berkshire captain Julian Wood out LBW, with Kingston-Davey standing in for the remaining 2 days of the 3 day match.
His cousin, William Gilbert Rees, playing in the same match, made 28 in the first innings before being dismissed leg before wicket by Tom Wills.
