Who am I?

I scored an unbeaten century in my last test match.
I scored an unbeaten century in my last shield game.
I have taken one solitary first class wicket.

Plenty of clues to follow if required.

Very good PB

The following clues would have been, 5 tests for Australia , scored a first class 300 and scored just under 17k first class runs.

Tough one here...

Who is the only player in the history of international cricket (Test/ODI/T20) to win a Man of the Match award without taking a wicket, taking a catch nor scoring a run in that particular match?

Oh, I actully kinda know this one I think. Well, by that I mean I have no idea other than a vague memory, lol

....it's a bowler, I'm 99% sure? Won for economy rate in a really close ODI. I couldn't for the life of me tell you his name without Googling so I'll disqualify myself but maybe that info will help some other merkin

Of course Cameron Cuffy

in 2001 V Zimbots

BINGO! Well done! Sorry for the late confirmation

Cameron Cuffy has the distinction of winning a man of the match award in a One Day International without scoring a run, taking a wicket or holding a catch. Playing against Zimbabwe at Harare in the opening fixture of a Coca Cola Cup tournament on 23 June 2001 he won the match award for his analysis of 10-2-20-0. As the hosts managed only 239 for 9 in reply to 266 for 5 by West Indies, Cuffy's economy was crucial. No other bowler in the match conceded fewer than 35 runs from his full 10-over entitlement.

Besides this game, the other Cameron Cuffy incident I clearly remember of him was bowling Greg Blewett for 99 in the 1997 Australia Day test match in Adelaide. Greg blew it!
