Who is the only player to win the Man-of-the-Match award in a one-day international without scoring a run, taking a wicket or making a catch or stumping?
The only man to achieve this rather unlikely feat was the tall West Indian fast bowler Cameron Cuffy, who was given the award for a tight spell of bowling in Harare in June 2001. Cuffy delivered his allocation of overs unchanged at the start of Zimbabwe's innings, finishing with figures of 10-2-20-0 (and didn't bat or take a catch). In West Indies' next match in this tri-series, he had figures of 10-3-20-1 against India - "Cuffy bowled his now-familiar single miserly spell," reported Wisden - but he didn't win the match award that time: it went to Sachin Tendulkar for a match-winning innings of 81 not out.
