Courtesy of Zimbabwe, Fakhar Zaman has become the fastest player to 1,000 ODI runs: it took him 18 innings, the record previously being 21.

Not only that, he has an ODI average of 76, which surely must be another record (min. criteria of 1,000 runs)

Time for the Bradman comparisons to follow.

Seriously though, I really really hope he can learn to bat long in tests. If he does, Pakistan are golden.

One of Pakistan's problem is that they chuck players into the test team hoping that ODI performance leads to test performance. See Babar Azam. Quite an infuriating strategy if you are a first class batsman grinding for a chance I am sure.

Here's an article on precisely that. Still, I think Fakhar has a lot of talent to just be a one dimensional slogger. He can be a Sehwag/Slater like opener hopefully. That's just the fanboy in me.

Just in case anyone missed it, James Anderson now has the most test wickets ever by a pace bowler.

Cook also with the most test runs by a left-hander

Most second innings tons is remarkable indeed. I think he was fastest/youngest to 8000 runs. Back then he looked unstoppable and looked like he'd average closer to 50. Can't blame him having played 150+ in a row though.

63.94 Lara
61.17 Sangakkara
60.69 Waugh
60.13 Jayawardene
60.10 Tendulkar
59.12 Dravid
58.31 Chanderpaul
57.49 Ponting
54.89 Kallis
54.86 Younis
50.90 Gavaskar
48.24 Border
47.32 Cook

while their 2nd innings averages are:

56.26 Kallis
54.63 Border
51.92 Sangakkara
51.46 Gavaskar
48.13 Younis
42.78 Tendulkar
42.64 Cook
42.16 Ponting
41.81 Dravid
41.43 Chanderpaul
38.18 Lara
33.64 Jayawardene
32.45 Waugh
