Chris Read Six Dismissals in Successive Matches during the 2006-2007 Ashes

Chris Read made six dismissals in an innings in successive matches during the 2006-07 Ashes series. Chris Read's wicket keeping in the last two matches of that series, in Melbourne and Sydney, was one of the few bright spots for England in the embarrassing Ashes whitewash of 2006-07 - not that it did Read much good, as those were the last of his 15 Test appearances. Funnily enough he also took six catches in an innings on his debut, against New Zealand at Edgbaston in 1999. The only man to achieve the feat more often than Read played nearly ten times as many matches: Mark Bucher did it four times in 147 Tests.
