The Guardian 28 May 1993 Tour Match: Aus v Surrey
Surrey are stumped as Zoehrer claims eight behind the wicket

 THE wicketkeeper Tim Zoehrer claimed eight  second-innings  vic-
tims  as the Australians beat Surrey by 174 runs at The Oval yes-
terday. His six catches and two stumpings left him one  short  of
the world record set by Tahir Rashid in the winter.
 Tahir Rashid, brother of the Pakistan Test wicketkeeper  Haroon,
took  eight  catches and made one stumping for Habib Bank against
the Pakistan AA.  Zoehrer equalled Wally Grout's 33-year-old Aus-
tralian  record  of  eight catches for Queensland and the English
first-class record shared by  David  East  of  Essex  (1985)  and
Kent's Steve Marsh in 1991.
 Surrey had been set an improbable victory target of 319  in  the
Tetley  Bitter  Challenge  but  the leg-spinner Shane Warne, with
four for 38, Brendon Julian (three for 30) - and  Zoehrer  -  had
them all out for 144.
 Afterwards Zoehrer said: ''That is the most success I have  ever
had  in  any  level of cricket. Everything seemed to come my way.
Whether I play in the Tests is up to the selectors.''
 With Tetley offering pounds 2,000  for  an  Australian  win  and
pounds  50,000  if  they  win  10 of their 15 matches against the
first-class counties, the tourists are well on the way with three
victories already.
