Isn't Southee pretty well up there on sixes hit too?

Up there. Has 70 odd. At only 30, he could surpass McCullum if he hangs around for another 4-5 years.

Michael Holding was a pretty cool six hitter of yesteryears. Scored only 910 runs, but 36 sixes !

Kohli certainly knows how to go large doesn't he? In pretty much any other era he'd be the undisputed best batsman across all formats.

 

[Chrish]

Well across all formats, he is the best batsman even in this era..

R Ashwin is now joint fastest (with Muralidharan) to 350 wickets. Reached there in 66 matches

Mura took 6 matches to go from 350 wickets to 400. Jeepers. Will be hard for Ashwin to stay up there.

Kasun Rajitha concedes the most runs ever in a T20 international with 75, managing to beat the old record by five runs.

Really? What about a team batting second chasing a small total? Is this all t20s or just international?

Yes. Chasing a small total in 120 balls, with an opening batsman still present at the end of the chase? Internationals

If I'm not wrong you can only carry your bat when the rest of your team gets out.

That's in tests. In limited overs, it's a bit different because of the limited number of balls.

 

[bagapath]

then let's call it something else.

"Carrying the bat through" means you have seen 10 wickets fall at the other end...

 

[Starfighter]

That's in tests. In limited overs, it's a bit different because of the limited number of balls.

Wrong. The team has to be completely dismissed for it to count in limited overs matches too. That's why there's only there's still only one instance listed in T20I:

Jatinder did not carry his bat last night, despite what the articles say.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I hear them say it, I parroted it.
