A thread to register new cricket records

50 – Younus’s minimum average in each of the four innings of a Test Match. The only other batsmen who average 50-plus in all four innings, with a minimum of 10 knocks in each innings, are Don Bradman and Herbert Sutcliffe
 
236 – The partnership between Younus and Azhar Ali for the third wicket at Abu Dhabi is the highest for that wicket for Pakistan against Australia.
 
Pakistan team is after batting records nowadays:))! Seems like they are the new batting kings in Test cricket:).

* In the ongoing Test match against New Zealand, the first of the series, all of Pakistan´s top five batsmen scored more than 80 (with Azhar Ali´s 87 being the lowest), making it the first such instance overall in cricket. So there you go, another batting world record in the bag:misbah!
 
Well, well, well,.... what do I add? Let´s right away get to work.

* Rohit Sharma, the man with most double centuries in ODI cricket, 2.

* Sharma, the man to hold the record for the hghest individual score in an ODI innings, 264.

* Sharma, the man to hit most fours in an innings, 33. He already holds the sixes´ record with 15 during his last double century.

* The runs´ difference of 198 between him and Virat Kohli is the biggest difference in an ODI between a team´s top-scorer and the second top-scorer.

And a few more if you only make a 50-over game as a qualification in an ODI (remember that earlier there used to be 60, 55 and 40 overs´ game till the 1980s:

* Sharma faced 173 deliveries, the most by a batsman in a 50-over game.

* Sharma scored the highest percentage of runs for a team in a complete 50-over ODI innings. He made 65.3% of India´s overall total.

* In the fifth ODI between India and Sri Lanka that has just concluded moments ago, both Virat Kohli and Angelo Matthews scored 139 (not out) which, if my memory serves me right, is the highest identical score that two batsmen have made in ODI cricket, after something like 125 that AB de Villiers and Graeme Smith made against Sri Lanka back in 2011/12.

Still, I shall confirm the above record soon, hopefully.

Sorry guys, I have not been able to confirm this record. However, I am sure that this is indeed a record. The ODI that I was talking about above from a few years back, the scorecard is found below of that match.....

Three more needed to equal Sachin Tendulkar, the current record holder with 17.
 
[MENTION=6745]DHONI183[/MENTION] Kohli must be coming close to most hundreds when chasing?

I think he has 14, and Tendulkar had 17. But he is only 1 behind Tendulkar in terms of wins.

Take a bow to my memory:p.
 
* The 22 sixes hit by New Zealand in the ongoing Sharjah Test match is a record for an innings in Test cricket.

A great coincidence is that on the 1st of January of this year, New Zealand hit the same number of sixes against the West Indies to make the ODI record. Wow, what a coincidence!
 
Khurram Khan became the oldest ODI centurian today at 43 years 162 days old.

Will have a big role to play in the World Cup. Excellent player

And that match also makes a record for the most number of sixes hit in a Test match - 35.

UAE vs Afghanistan yesterday. UAE won by 5/6 wickets with Khan hitting 132* I think
 
Taijul becomes the first cricketer to take a hattrick on ODI debut.
 
* With 474, Kumar Sangakkara now becomes the player to have effected most dismissals in ODI cricket. Adam Gilchrist was the previous record-holder with 472.

However, Gilchrist´s record still stands if we add the qualification of wicket keeping as 19 of the dismissals effected by Sangakkara have been as non-wicket-keeper.
 
* Virat Kohli made 256 runs in the today concluded Adelaide Test match, which is the record for the most runs made on a captaincy debut.

* Virat Kohli becomes the first player to make two centuries on his captaincy debut in an away Test match.

Sorry I wasn´t able to confirm anything about it, even though I did try.

I wonder whether anyone can confirm the following though:

Both Virat Kohli and David Warner made twin hundreds in the Adelaid match, was this the first such instance of two batsmen doing it in the same game?

* With 2861 runs in 2014, Kumar Sangakkara now holds the record for the most number of runs made in a calendar year across all formats, going past the 2833 runs´ record previously held by Ricky Ponting who made them in year 2005.

Sangakkara made 1431 runs in Test cricket this year, 1256 in ODIs and 119 in T20Is. So well done to him! A great achievement by him.

How many excluding Bangladesh ?
 
* Pakistan are the team to hold the record for the most number of times the first wicket down without a run on the board. This has happened 53 times for them now.
 
* With 100 matches and 107 innings, Faf du Plessis now holds the record for the most number of international matches and innings played before getting a duck in career.
 
Murali has the most number of sixes hit of first ball in Test cricket. He has 3 of em.
 
* With 33 sixes in Test cricket in 2014, Brendon McCullum easily holds the record for most sixes in Test cricket in a calendar year, with an innings still to go in this year mind you! The previous record of 22 sixes in a year was jointly held by Adam Gilchrist and Virender Sehwag, in 2005 and 2008 respectively.

* McCullum now also becomes the only player to have twice hit 10 sixes or more on two occasions in Test cricket. He has hit them all in his last two consecutive innings, with 11 in each!

Phew!

134 stumpings ??? are you sure about that one? sounds like a helluva lot.

Well, 685 of those runs were against Bangladesh, with 394 in a single Test match.

Guys, this isn´t correct. I got this one wrong.

Kumar Sangakkara has instead made 2813 runs this year, which is 20 runs short of Ricky Ponting´s record, a record that was made in 2005 and still stands. Sangakkara still had the chance to surpass the record though in the ongoing Boxing Day Test Match against New Zealand, but he did not after making only seven runs in the match.

So I apologise for the misinformation spread around in this thread.
 
What a prophecy, my friend, what a prophecy it turned out to be! Why on earth did you have to type that:(?

Don't make me feel guilty :(

Don't worry hes still there in ODIs where hes damn good
 
Kumar Sangakkara holds quite a few records now as a left-hand batsman....

* Most runs in international cricket and Test cricket specifically,

* Most double centuries,

* Most centuries in international cricket and Test cricket specifically,

* Most 50-plus scores in international cricket and ODI cricket specifically.

Remember, all the above as a left-handed batsman, not overall.

Don't make me feel guilty :(

Don't worry hes still there in ODIs where hes damn good

What the "You are guilty" scene of film 'Devdas' (2002), the one where Shah Rukh Khan is drunk and recalls old conversations with his father, to know how I felt that day.
 
* The 365-run partnership between Kane Williamson and BJ Watling is now a record for the sixth wicket in Test cricket.

The previously held record was of 352, also in New Zealand in February last year, and was between Brendon McCullum and....... BJ Watling!

* The number four batting position has already yielding seven centuries in the ongoing Australia-India series, a record! Four of those belong to Steve Smith and three to Virat Kohli. Don´t be too surprised if one more is added to it.

Well, albeit quite easy it was, but the prophecy has come true! Virat Kohli adds the eighth one!
 
* With seven, the number of centuries scored by the captains in the ongoing Australia-India series are a record. Three each of those belong to Kohli and Steve Smith, one to Michael Clarke.

* Kohli becomes the only captain to score three consecutive Test centuries in his first three innings as Test captain.
 
* With 769 runs, Steve Smith now holds the record for most runs scored in a four-match Test series. Wow!

* The number of times a 400-plus total that has been posted in the ongoing Australia-India Test series is a record. On eight occasion the 400-run mark has been passed this series.

* In a series of three or more Test matches, this is the first time that both teams have gone past 400 in the first innings of each match.

* As has already been highlighted above, by conceding 45 in three overs, Umesh Yadav now holds the record for the worst economy-rate in an innings in which a bowler has bowled three or more overs.

* Bowlers have given away 100 or more runs on 24 occasions in this series, already a record!
 
.... * Bowlers have given away 100 or more runs on 24 occasions in this series, already a record!

* The Australia-India Test series produced 5870 runs, the most in a series of four Test matches or less.

* Five of those 100 runs or more have been conceded by Nathan Lyon, which is probably a record as well I would think.

* Lyon conceded 110 on the last day as well and thus made it sixth such instance for him in the series, a record confirmed:19:!

Phew, records tumbled throughout the series! The bowlers will be relieved that it finally came to an end though.

* ...... as well most runs made in the second innings of a T20I game.

* Kyle Abbot holds the record for most runs conceded in a T20I game. He gave away 68 in fours overs and took a wicket as well. Well, he can at least point to Sanath Jayasuriya´s record of the most T20I expensive spell without taking a wicket;-).

Was the previous record holder a Pakistani? I think it was Tanvir.
 
What a coincidence :yk

A team can post a highest score while chasing and yet not win the game. So tomorrow if someone scores 250 while chasing 300 will break the 2nd record mentioned above i.e. most runs made in the 2nd innings of a T20I game but the first record will stay intact.

Let me add further records to the above list......

* 320 runs came in boundaries the aforementioned T20I game, a record. In all, 44 fours and 24 sixes were hit in the game.

* The match produced a record 467 runs. The previous best was 10 runs less than this.

* Faf du Plessis´ 119 is now the highest individual T20I score in a defeat.....

* .... and also the highest by a captain.

What a coincidence :yk

Wasn´t it;-)?

Was the previous record holder a Pakistani? I think it was Tanvir.

With 64 in four overs, Sanath Jayasuriya and James Anderson were the joint record holders.

The highest for Pakistan was by Mohammad Sami, with 54 in four overs against Australia in 2010.
 
The records highlighted below belong to the third T20I between South Africa and the West Indies:

* With 70, Morne van Wyk now holds the record for most deliveries faced by a batsman in a T20I match.....

* .... hence also a record for a wicket keeper.

* The series concluded yesterday with two centuries having been scored in it, the most in a T20I bilateral series.

Not a bad number. The highest in a 50 over ODI match is 173 by Rohit Sharma, the percentages seem to be close.

First time ever an all-rounder is topping the charts in all formats. No one has yet to do that for bowling/batting.

Shakib - World Number 1 all-rounder in Tests
Shakib - World Number 1 all-rounder in ODIs
Shakib - World Number 1 all-rounder in T20s

Thanks for this addition.

70 balls is the most deliveries a batsman has faced in a t20I match? Thought the number would be higher!

Yup. Martin Guptill held the previous record with 69, which also was the slowest T20I century ever.

Not a bad number. The highest in a 50 over ODI match is 173 by Rohit Sharma, the percentages seem to be close.

Rohit Sharma holds the record for a 50-over ODI match, overall there are five innings above his with more number of balls faced, with Glenn Turner topping the list with 201 balls, probably holding amongst the most unbreakable records ever. He is also the second on the list with 177 balls faced in another innings.
 
*All the references to the "AB de Villiers match" will be added later on, either today or tomorrow. So, stay tuned.

Here we go! *All the references below belong to the second ODI between South Africa and the West Indies:*

* AB de Villiers got his fifty off 16 balls, a record in ODIs.....

* .... and so was his century off 31 balls.

* AB de Villiers is the only man to have scored a hundred after coming in to bat after the 30th over, and he has done it twice!

* It is the first occasion of a batsman making more than 100 runs at a strike rate of 300 or more.

* Dwayne Smith conceded 68 off his four overs at an economy rate of 17, the worst economy rate in a spell of four overs or more.

* Two West Indies conceded more than 90, first such instance in an ODI.

* It is the first instance of three batsmen making a century in an ODI team innings.

AB de Villiers..... take a bow! He has left me absolutely speechless! An interesting thing is, the previous fastest century, off 36 balls by Corey Anderson, was also in January (the 1st in fact!) and also against the same team. My brother fears that maybe the West Indies make a New Year resolution to give away this record to a new player each year.

The references below are from the 5th ODI between New Zealand and Sri Lanka earlier today. To put things in perspective, New Zealand were 93 for five in 20 overs. They lost no further wicket and ended up putting on 360..... Phew!

* Luke Ronchi´s 170 not out off just 99 balls is now the highest score for a batsman batting at number seven. He went past MS Dhoni´s 139 not out against Africa XI, an official match it was.

* The 267-run partnership between Ronchi and Grant Elliot is the highest for the sixth wicket.

One batting record after another is getting broken against us last few months. Lucky us :))

When there's nothing much in the pitch for our bowlers they just become completely hopeless and pretty much give up. Pathetic. In recent times I have lost count of the number of matches we have just thrown away from winning positions. It has almost become a habit now. Very worrying signs going into the WC.
