Which match in Australia featured eight umpires over three days?

Apparently there was once a first-class match in Australia which featured no fewer than eight umpires. Can you tell us more about this? asked Ashru Mitra from India
The match in question was played in Australia in 1908-09, between Tasmania and Victoria in Launceston. Tasmania were not competing in the Sheffield Shield at the time, but did play regular matches against near neighbours Victoria, and some touring teams. ESPNcricinfo's scorecard says "several different umpires officiated", but Ray Webster's encyclopaedic First-Class Cricket in Australia 1850-51 to 1941-42 gives some more details: "The umpires for this match remain something of an enigma. Launceston Telegraph reports W. Reeves, H. G. Tevelein and H. Wilson (first day), none on the second day, and F. Vaughan and 'Jordan' (third day); Cricket reports that eight different umpires officiated but gives no details, and no other source gives any names or reasons for the changes."

It seems to have been a strange match all round. The weekly magazine Cricket mentions a report from Victoria's manager: "He felt constrained to mention the management of the Launceston game, in the course of which they had no fewer than eight umpires, and in addition, the Victorian team had had to roll the wicket between the innings for themselves."

One person who seemed to cope regardless of who was wearing the white coat was Victoria's legspinner Jimmy Matthews, who took 12 wickets in the match, including a hat-trick in the first innings. Matthews would later take two hat-tricks in the same Test - still a unique feat - for Australia against South Africa at Old Trafford during the 1912 Triangular Tournament.

I know a few bowlers have taken 100 wickets in the IPL. But who has the most for a single team? asked Mehmet Singh from India
The man with the most wickets in the IPL is the Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga, with 154 - and all of those were taken for Mumbai Indians. Malinga is not taking part this year, so may soon lose top spot: as I write, Amit Mishra has 134 IPL wickets, and Piyush Chawla 127. But that pair, and the others with more than 100 wickets - Harbhajan Singh, Dwayne Bravo, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashish Nehra, Vinay Kumar, R Ashwin and Zaheer Khan - have all appeared for more than one team. Harbhajan's first 127 IPL wickets came for the Mumbai Indians, before his switch to Chennai this year.

At the time of writing, Sunil Narine had taken 99 wickets in the IPL, all for Kolkata Knight Riders. Umesh Yadav, who has played for three teams, has 96. For the full and updated list of the leading wicket-takers, click here.
