The Records and Milestones thread

Won't be long before some Afghan takes all his records
Just ftr, my post you quoted there was actually incorrect and Smith is actually the 2nd batsman to do that, after Matthew Hayden.

He's also joined Ponting as the only batsman to score 6 centuries in a calendar year more than once

He is the first batsman to score 1000 runs in 4 consecutive years averaging 70+ each year iirc.

Sorry for the double post not really a milestone but an interesting tidbit, Smith currently scores centuries at the third highest rate in history behind Bradman and Headley.
 

Coronis

International Coach
In case anybody didn't realise Smith equalled Sobers as 2nd fastest to 6000 runs. He has 19 innings to beat Hammond to 7000.
 

Bijed

International Regular
Whilst he only score 10, Cook's most recent innings took him past 12,000 test runs.

Playing this test also made him the 2nd person to play 150 consecutive tests, after Border. If Cook plays in England's next 4 tests, he'll have the record for most played consecutively.

In how many innings in ODI cricket has the top scorer been the #11 like it was in NZ vs Pak?

In the same SL innings, each batsman from #2 to #9 scored more than the next; I wonder if that's a record?

Speaking of that test, Mominul Haque became the first Bangers player to score a century in each innings.

Guptill now with the most T20I runs

And now Australia with a record chase in all T20, I believe, not just internationals.

Missed it earlier, but he also went beyond Sanath and now has the second highest number of runs batting second, only Tendulkar is ahead.

Herath passed 1000 first class wickets sometime last year. I think it's pretty likely that he'll be the last ever to do so.
